I'm sorry Bart, but in the intrest of accurate info, I'm gonna have to disagree with your post...Originally Posted by nfpgasmask
It's a slow leak coming from either the water pump or the 'O' ring behind the engine.
If it doesn't, I will assume it is the 'O' ring. It is my understanding that the 'O' ring fix is difficult because the head has to be pulled and gasket replaced.

The intake manifold has to be removed to get to that "O" ring, not the heads.
If you follow the upper radiator hose to it's origin under the intake manifold, you MAY be able to get a look at the thermostat housing...If you have a good flashlight, & are part contortionist...
The back side of the t-stat housing is where the O-ring in question resides.
Now if you were talking about replacing the head gaskets, then yeah, they have to come off...
