You have a leak.
Try the following: 1) inspect all hoses, 2) check water pump area for
leakage (gasket), 3) inspect thermostat housing leakage (gasket), and 4)
inspect all freeze plugs for any leakage.
If all four areas have no leakage, then mount the truck on a lift to inspect
the engine block. Hopefully, this is not the problem, Brian.

Subject: DML: Head Gasket Question
Hi All,
Since I have owned my truck, I have noticed a burnt anti freeze smell. It
gets stronger as the truck warms up. I have also noticed that the reservoir
next to the radiator seems to dry up, no matter how much I fill it. Is this
normal, or do I have a bad head gasket? If neither, can someone shed some
light on it for me.
Thanks
