Re: loosing antifreeze

Stay away from stop leak products, they cause more problems! A common place for coolant to leak on the 4.3L is from the lower intake manifold gaskets. Usually in a corner where the intake meets the cylinder head and block. A pressure test, a flashlight and a small mirror will help locate the leak. There is a dye you can add to the coolant and use a black light... the leak sticks out like a sore thumb!
