I have a 1996 K-1500 4x4 with a 5.7, I am seeing some coolant coming out of the top of the engine block right in between the thermostat and the intake manifold is. I don't see it leaking from the thermostat but it looks like it might be coming from the intake, anyone had that problem or know where it could be coming from?

Check the pewter fitting that the heater hose connects to.
You may have to borrow a pressure tester to get it up to 15 pounds before it starts leaking.

That heater hose connector is where my leak was. Be prepared for it
