I just rebuilt my engine and got it in a couple days ago. There is a slow coolant leak comming out from what i can tell between the bellhousing and the plate that goes between the engine and bellhousing. I cant tell where its comming from. Theres no leaks from the coolant lines. Are there any plugs on the back of the engine that are for coolant? From what I remember, there are galley plugs for the oil but none for coolant. Is this right? The freeze plugs look fine. The only thing I can think of is the lower intake or the heads. Is there something I am missing?

do you still have a heater? if so, check your hoses there.......if not, i would say it is at the intake manifold...........right where the lower meets the head...........
