Coolant leak-how to proceed?

Featured Replies

My block leaked outside, it was bad head gasket. Its not that bad to replace after youve done it.

nah, Steve. Really not that bad when going new.

PO had stripped a threaded hole and put an over-sized stud in place of it. Replaced it cause it looked ugly as hell.

About half hour tops. (not including the 48 hours of multiple doses of PBlaster).

Replacing the housing is not te hard work as I said earlier - it's the removing the complete induction system to get to it.

I did pressure test the coolant system and best I can tell the leak is at the housing mounting point. Just as long is its not the HG!
