Ok small stain of coolant under general area of starter. I can see it's dripping off the rear of the motor. I traced it up to the head from underneath. Using a mirror on a stick, I inspected the rear of the head around the freeze plug and it is dry around the plug, but wet on the ledge where head meets block. So I looked upstream. I THINK it may be the crossover steam vent block off that is the source of the leak. At least I think it's a block off -- I cannot see if there is a steam crossover on the rear like there is on the front.
Anyways, has anyone else seen one leak from here? How likely is it that I'm correct in other words. I assume there's an o ring inside that block off and that might be the cause. It's really tight in there so I'm wondering if the manifold has to come off. . .
Update: I did take the manifold plastic cover off, which gave me a better view, and I did inspect the rear block off on the other head. It does not have coolant pooled around it like the passenger side one does. Can anyone provide a part number for that o ring?
