Re: Coolant leak

Jcat, I use a 50/50 mix and have flush it twice since 2002, currently 163,000. I see the temp sending unit that is next to the #1 plug that is screw into the head, it' clean. Though as I said sometimes on the garage floor in the morning, a few drops, a little more than or nothing at all. The area around the pump appears fine. But now that I wasn't paying attention to before on the driver side, I can see at the front of the head next to the power steering bracket, at the base between the head and block I see where there as been accumalation of of whitish/brownish build-up with white drips down the block. Now I am wondering if the head gasket is leaking slowly and most leakage is evaporated on the hot block when operating. Also on a different note I notice that two exhaust manifold bolts have broken off, one in the front and one at the rear of the manifold, any ideas why. The manifold has never been worked on before...Thanks
