Antefreeze ,,leak''..pics included.
Pictures will explain it more easily but i have antifreeze leaking right out of some kind of a breather hose underneath my cab, passenger side right where all the AC lines go in....its leaking more in colder weather and it has been doing it for a while with no issues. Am not noticing that am loosing any coolant at all...its a DD60, 400K miles, 475hp.
What is this hose called and what is its purpose?

Do you have a heater core in there with the a/c condenser? It could be the core or a hose leaking when it's cold. I would check the hose clamps & core.
You need to wash your truck too.

Yes, the heater core is in there along with the A/C evaporator.
Those 2 rubber 90 deg. lines with the spring type clamps on them are the coolant lines to the heater core.
There is a leak in the heater core, or in the lines inside the HVAC unit and the leaked coolant is draining out the drain tube that is there to allow A/C condensation to drain out of the HVAC unit when using the A/C.
You'll have to pull the lid off the HVAC unit inside the cab and have a look.

I always work on day cab Internationals, and on those the HVAC unit is under the passenger seat, however, by looking at your pics, I would say yes, the HVAC unit is in your sleeper on the passenger side, directly above where those hoses go thru the floor.
