Search showed no specific answers. I've been hunting down a coolant leak. I've had a constant, light coolant odor for a while now. Repeated pressure testing showed nothing obvious. Nothing showing wet. Yesterday, i noticed wetness at both front bolts on the intake manifold. This is a 123,000 mile LO3. I've been doing normal oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles and found no milkshake, the radiator shows no oil when drained.
My car runs like a top( albeit a weak one). It's my DD. Since I don't find any metal in the oil, and I'm getting fairly good mileage( 22-24 mixed), I'm trying to decide if I should just re-gasket the top end or if I need to consider a crate engine.

 

check to see if the bolts have loosened. if not its time to change the intake gaskets

 

That would be nice. I'm not really looking forward to a swap any time soon.
