Howdy,
Upon further investigation, meaning I thoroughly cleaned the suspected areas
of leakage and observed the area as the engine heated up, I believe I've
found the culprit. There is a manufacturing stamp of some sort on the
cylinder head close to the exhaust port and the cylinder head cover. Well, if
my eyes aren't deceiving me the coolant is rising though what I would imagine
to be a small fissure in the casting of the head at the same location as the
manufacturing stamp. The leak is very very small but there still the same. I
know that the head will need to be replaced but in the mean time what about
JB Weld? And does anybody have a head for sale, the one on the passenger's
side.
TIA,
Paul
