Pushing Coolant?
I've noticed a some small coolant drips under the driver's side manifold the last few times I've driven the car, and just last night I noticed that some coolant was pooled up around the most forward, small head stud on the drivers side. I guess this may mean it's coming up through the bolt hole. Im not sure about the drips on the cradle, though. It's not spraying anywhere like I've seen other cars do, so I guess it could be from a larger bolt hole, too. Coolant temps area great and the oil is clean. Any ideas fellas?

Before it gets closed - when I would get it on the cradle it would drip out of the coolant tank and down the frame to the cradle!
Hope all works out well for you! Keep us posted!
Thanks,Matt

I guess the irony here is that (for example) after somebody spending $15k for new short- or long block with lots of high performance parts and notices there's coolant leak, it's kind of funny that it is possible to fix it without spending another $1000 but with $10 or less..
