Hi all,
I am heading on a 300 mile weekend trip tomorrow and just noticed coolant leaking under the intake. It appears to be in the area near the flame trap. The hose that goes into the block there looks great and seems to have good integrity, but I can't see up under there from top or under the car. My issue is time, I want this done tonight so I do not have to leave my wife stranded all weekend. My question is do I attack from above or below? I could remove the starter and probably see OK. I didn't want to remove the intake but I will if I can find a good gasket in town. I'd also like some assurance it's not the head gasket from anyones experience, the search seemed to indicate they usually leak coolant on the exhaust manifold side. Any tips or encouragement is greatly appreciated.
