Okay guys, I am officially surrendering my winning of the Dyno recently - I just dont know how to go about doing this. Why you ask ? Because it seems I may have a dredded antifreeze leak as I saw some puddling on the block. Having installed a thermostat many years ago myself, I am fully aware what it might take to address the leak, but needless to say I can't very well sit my car on a Dyno and fire off both my Nx bottles, and I don't know when I will get around to the repair. I will be calling the All Mighty and Powerful Wizard tomorrow for some advice, but until then ........

So are you asking for repair advise, or a hug?

I'm wondering if i might be nuts cause I cleaned it all out, ran the car and don't see any leaks. The intake manifold gaskets look good and the thermostat housing looks good and so do the hoses. Am I missing something ? Can antifreeze blow out anywhere else and not be a constant issue ? Granted I only ran it in the driveway and used a flashlight to look in there and checked out everything I could see. Guess I have to drive it and put some stress on things to force a leak if there is one. It looked like antifreeze and smelled like it, but was definitely old and dirty. Do I see some sort of breather hose going into the block near the thermostat gasket ? But the puddling was more in the middle. Think I might just monitor until I see something more obvious.
