Well I didnt think about that. I pulled the intake this morning and put rtv on the coolant block off there was a little coolant on it. But i didnt check that plug. The car has been sitting for about a week and there was no leak spots under it so i need to drive it then throw it on a lift and see what i can find. What if i poured some radiator stop leak in the cooling system? you think it would stop it if it is that plug on the back of the head?

Well after getting the car on a lift could see what was leaking coolant. And there is a plug on the side of the block right toards the back. It looks like it uses a star or hex head type driver to remove it. Of course ill have to pull the passenger header to get to it but what kinda sealer do you guys recommend to seal it up so it wont leak again?
