Help! Coolant leak from the BACK of the engine somewhere!
Help! Coolant leak from the BACK of the engine somewhere! I have a bad coolant leak that's dripping down to the oil filter. It appears to be coming from the back of the block somewhere.
Just rebuilt the entire engine. Did I forget to install something? Help!

I'll check it over tonight. If that's the case, would it make sense that the leak gets worse after driving it?
Also, if that's NOT the case, what else could it be? Surely it wouldn't be a cracked block/head? I guess it could be a blown head gasket, but I JUST rebuilt the engine and replaced EVERY seal/gasket in it.....

I'd bet on the coolant vent plugs in the back. The reason it gets worse after driving is because the thermostat opens up and fluid starts to flow.
If it's not that, it may be a head gasket, but it would have to be installed wrong in a big way lol.

It'd be nice to talk to ya. It's gotta be the plug in the side of the block.
Weird thing is, the leak wasn't there for the first 20 minutes of run time. Once we started putting the transmission in, we noticed the leak. It was very small at first. After driving the car for 15 miles, the leak is now a smal, steady stream.
