Freakin' Coolant Leak! Hi All,
On my second runout (after replacing the rear main seal and fixing a trans cooler fitting leak), I've developed a coolant leak somewhere at the rear of the PASS side cylinder head. The obvious stuff isn't leaking (temp sensor or steam block fitting). All I can figure is a head gasket, it's right above the starter and is dripping on the starter wiring and then onto the header. The heads have never been off and the motor only has 23k miles. I'm gonna try some seal tabs, but anybody have any idea why this would happen after 30 minutes of idling runtime?
