help w/determining coolant leak

[fireguy12117]

OK, well, where are we looking then...all gasket mating surfaces? there are passages from the block to the heads, and block to lower intake, and front timing cover/water pump, correct? i am going to attack this between tomorrow and Friday.

Anywhere on the radiator.. ANY hose small or large..at the ends and also anywhere between them.. The waterpump all over... the heater and heater hoses... there is also coolant passages in the head... all freeze plugs.. Ya just gotta look all over real close.

It might help if you can pump some pressure in the radiator cap for an hour or so before crawling under there.. I never have but I do look real close.
