Okay so I have made it through replacing the Speedo Cable, getting a newer dash cluster in, new slave cylinder, new rear cylinders, etc. This weekend I was readjusting the brakes per some info from the list and there are doing great. But while I was under the engine I noticed two small puddles of coolant. Both were located just below the point where the pushrod tubes contact the engine. If the heads were leaking this would seem like the obvious place the coolant would drip from. The pushrod tube cover plates are in tact. I have been thinking of pulling the heads anyway to fix the leaky pushrod tube seals(Oil Leaky). But is it normal for the heads to both leak at the same time? Ilooked all over the engine from above and what I could see from below. I can't seem to find where the coolant is coming from. Any suggestions? I really would like to put off pulling the heads and such for a while. Currently I am not over heating and the oil usage is minimal as well as loss of coolant.
