possibly from the waterpump. it is right above the timing chain cover. find someone who will pressure test your cooling system, that should find your leak quick.

Check your thermostat housing on my old 305 it leaked a little.

When checking the intake look for a white or green crusty buildup at the thermostat housing or intake manifold where it meets the heads at each corner. Dont forget to check the hoses too.

I guess your hose could be improperly secured to your thermo housing. Make sure the clamp is good and tight!!

Could also be the weep hole in the water pump.



They do start to leak after a while. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
