Re: coolant leak
im thinking maybe lim leaking. it starts right up and idles perfect. to cold to do any work . unless i get it in my brothers shop to tear it down.. must be a very small leak. guess i will de ice the car and check it out tomarrow. since its a snow ice mixture atm.

Re: coolant leak
how do you know its the exhaust? there are times that the t-valve where the coolant goes to the heater, it will crack from the heat and leak a small amount of coolant under pressure.
anyway, its easire to look at that than to pull the engine apart to see if you have a bad head gasket.

Re: coolant leak
ill check the valve thats a good possiblity. it leaked when i first started it up after changing the engine. tightened the clam. could be over tightened and cracked it.
