Engine Coolant Disappearing

Ok I am losing engine coolant somewhere I think. I havnt seen any noticable leaks, however several weeks back when I replaced the seal on the rear output of my transfer case a little bit of antifreeze looking liquid came out when I pulled the seal off. Is it possible for it to go back that far or something? Or is it maybe possible that the radiator was low and sucking up what it needs from the tank? I checked the radiator a few minutes ago and it was at the top so idk.

I cant see it making it that far back, but anything is possible. Have you checked to make sure it isnt coming out of the tail pipe. Had that to happen on a 22re ahwle back. head gasket. Hope that is the worse case scenario.

Those Preston flush kits like to leak after they get old. Do you have one of them installed?

Water pump weep hole leaking? Check all hose connections. I should of posted this from least to worse or bottom, but hope this gets you going in the right direction.
