Re: Just saw radiator water drop by the bell housing
 

Mike, you are one SMART MoFo. You are my Master of mechanics and I am your
Grasshopper. <bows deeply>

Exactly as you stated. When I started it up I looked for coolant. Then I
see a line dripping down the side of the back of the engine. Put my hand
around the temperature sensor and it was dry as a bone. Then around the
back of the head as you said and Bingo, there it was.

Ok, Actually if there was going to be a leak then I'm glad it was there
rather than a freeze plug. I can just see myself trying to convince the
machine shop that there was leak from a freeze plug that only lasted a few
minutes into the drive. At least this I can show him and plus the whole
engine doesn't have to be pulled.

Now, first. How did you know (please educate me Master)? and second,
what's the remedy? Pull the head and re-seat?

Thanks,

Bill
