have a 85 305 tpi and seen a coolent leak dripping off my starter. i checked the heater core hoses going into the firewall but they were fine. were else could it be coming from?

 

intake manifold. make sure its not going in the engine

 

check the freeze out plugs in the block too for any
pin holes.....

 

I had this same problem, a very slow drip from the starter area. Not much, but just enough to keep a damp spot on the garage floor. I'm assuming it's rusty freeze plugs since I couldn't find a leak anywhere else. It didn't need pressure, it dripped even when the engine was stone cold. Strangely, I flushed the radiator and the leak stopped, but it will probably be back eventually.
