I have a minor leak where the head bolts to the block. It is a greenish liquiud kinda like burnt antifreeze. when you pop the hood after you have turned it off you can smell like steam. It has been like this for a while ever since i bought the truck 50,000 mile ago. I dont know if it is from boost pressure lifting up the head or what. any help is apreciated.

thanks

 

Probably just age, I had one start leaking back by #5 because corrosion between the head and gasket. Where is it leaking? I have 2 that seep up below the thermostat housing.

 

It is leaking at the back of the block by the fire wall, im guessing between five and six.

 

both of mine did that. Just run it till it gits bad. one of mine wint like that for over 100K just a seep that would not drip just evap off the side of the block it was so slow.

 

Just keep an eye on your oil and make sure there is no water in it!

 

It never hurts to put a teaspoon of fine grind pepper in your cooling system. When the pepper gets really wet and cooked it gets very sticky and plugs small leaks really well. At some point you will have to pop the head and change the head gasket, get new head bolts and fix her up proper.
