Sorry to bring this thread back, but I'm having the same coolant leak problem.

Here are some pictures I was able to take. so cramped!





Not sure if you can see, but there's some coolant collecting in that nook behind that switch (i think its a switch), above and to the driver side of the U-hose.

any thoughts?

that nook is a sut and nut that holds the sensor pack in, 1 of the 2 on it.
i dont see any drip trail from any sensors in the pic. my concern is hose or clamp seapage when warming up expanding

I would check this also. There are 4 sensors in there and you could have a leak there.
Also that sensor bank has a gasket and is bolted to the intake mani.
Coolant could be running down that right to the exh crossover pipe


I leaking coolant after rebuilding the top end. its definatly coming from the coolant sensor block gasket. I plan on removing the upper intake to replace the gasket. Heres my question, can i use the blue rtv instead of a paper gasket? Or is there something else i could try since i dont have another
