Well i told the ol lady to grab some beer money, while i top off the coolant & then do a shake down run to the beer store... While I was just starting to get in a good mood.

I herd this trickle, as i started to pour more of my antifreeze in, it seemed to come out at the same pace on the exhaust side! ^&%&

so i started looking I'm pretty sure it's leaking at that back flange that mounts to the head, right behind the exhaust camshaft gear.

So i used a dry paper gasket when i first bolted it up (No sealant). Was that wrong? Is there suppose to be some kind of rubber crush gasket, like the old 240s had on the pipe where it met the water pump? Or should i just make another gasket and throw some sealant on it, an be done with it? I did notice when i removed the gasket it had paint on it, i guess clearwater did some painting.

I'm so close it can taste it, I just need to get over this last bump...
