It depends on the kind of timeout you talk about. If you mean an application timeout where it shuts down the socket you'll see a reset packet. You can filter for that by using "tcp.flags.reset==1".

But if you're talking about "Keep Alives", you could filter for "tcp.analysis.keep_alive".

If you are looking for connections with only SYN frames (no SYN-ACK), aka 'timed out connection attempts', please see my answer in the following question, especially the third answer (MATE):

tshark is another option:
