I've noticed what appears to be a slight coolant drip coming from forward
corner of the passenger side head gasket in an '85.  In order to have a
better look at the bottom of the head gasket, it appears that one must
remove the pushrod tube shield.  However, upon inspection, it appears that
two of the four bolts involved in removing this shield also serve as bolts
that connect the exahust to the head.  I'd rather not play around with
these bolts (look pretty rusty) just to have a better look at the head
gasket.

So, is there any other way to do this that I'm missing?  I imagine that
the source of the leak is not something easier to fix, but it would be
nice to make sure before I start investigating head gasket repair.

Thanks,
David
