Hey guys, I'm hoping to get some input on an issue I discovered the other day. I noticed a puddle of coolant in my garage and was able to trace up the back side of my block, all the way up to one of the bolts on my valve cover My question of course is how would coolant get on there. Below is a picture so you can see what I'm talking about.





Let me know what you guys think. Any constructive input is appreciated.

 

Did the head studs go in 1x1?

 

I would clean it up and put some UV dye in the coolant. Warm up the car to operating temp and use the UV flashlight to see where the leak is.

 

Look at the hose the small hose that connects from the back of the block to the throttle body. Had same problem. That hose had a small cut causing it to leak.

 

They did but I think this is too high to be a headstud or head gasket issue

 

Someone else suggested this to me. I'll check it out and see if I can locate it.
