Leaking Antifreeze Hey, I just got done building my Heads, Cam, and Intake on my 02 SS. i did Trickflow 215's, 102mm FAST intake manifold, 102mm TB, and a custom grind cam. i have a small problem... when i got the car started of course it ran crappy with out a tune but however once its running for a solid few minutes i see a very slow leak of coolant coming out of what it looks like the rear bottom head where it meets the block but due to things in the way its really hard to pin point it. i know i torqued everything down to its specifications. if theres anyone that has had this same or similar problem any advice would be greatly appreciated. I really dont feel up to tearing this whole thing back apart again if not needed.

Which side it is? maybe the head gasket didn't seal well, did you clean the block thorough? Also check that the oil is not milky. That happened to me and now I'm gonna have to take the head out and get a new gasket, clean it really well and spray some gasket sealant. Good Luck!!!

Well looks like it was the cross over block off on the driver side head all the way in the back. I put sealant on them and waiting for it to cure to find hopefully no more leaks!
