My coolant is pissing out of the front of the cylinder head above the waterpump. I know there is a screw in plug on the front of the cylinder head and that there are copper or brass plugs on the side. Has anyone encountered this problem, and what I have to do to stop the leak. None of the commercial stop lead products work. When I depressurize the system by removing the radiator cap the water leaves slower and without a hiss. When the system is pressurized there is a constant high pitched hiss and the water runs down around the water pump.
