[QUOTE="clayton, post: 1585123, member: 31409"] So I have a coolant leak from drivers side head where it meets the block right in the back corner facing the firewall. It slowly drips and runs down the back of the block and down the trans bell. After letting it run until it hits operating temperature, it stops dripping and seals itself up. So for about 10 to 15 minutes it drips then quits. I do have aluminum trick flow heads and I know they can expand and contrast when it comes to heat. What are you guys thoughts? Anything to be worried about? I was concerned about the head gasket but if the gasket was blown wouldn't it leak no matter if engine is warm or not? I wouldn't think this is normal...or is it for aluminum heads to do this when its cold? Its a 95 331 stroker trick flow heads. Also there is no coolant in my oil whatsoever. Oil is clean and so is my coolant. Im confused...dont know if i should be worried about a warped head of failed gasket, or if this is normal behavior for these types of heads in cold weather ( its 34 degrees here in central PA) car has been kept in garage since october.
