check the engine coolant, it is used to warm up the regulator, check flow into and out of regulator, if all good, you have a bad regulator as it is leaking.
it is 'almost normal' to see some cooling (to the touch) of the external regulator just before the thermostat fully opens, in some trucks with restrictive water flow hoses to the regulator.
