85 corvette coolant leak
Im new to the corvette forum, so I hope this is the right one.
Anyway, I have a 1985 c4 tpi, Doug Nash 4+3. It's been sitting for 12 years and I'm bringing it back to life. After hooking up a battery and cranking it over, I've noticed a significant coolant leak. It's coming from above the bell housing and dropping off the bell housing onto the ground. It has green coolant in it, but It has been sitting outside for about 10 years in Ohio. Hope the block is not cracked, I have a hunch it might be the block or the freeze plug. Mabye a head gasket or a heater line. Any thoughts??

Welcome to the Forum!
Go to the auto parts store and borrow/rent a pressure tester for your cars system. Pump it up and you will see where you leak is real quick.
