You're also new to forums and the search button, right?

the o-rings in your intake manifold need replacing.

Yeah, there are 2 coolent ports between the intake ports that run into the manifold. The have o-rings around them. Cheap and easy to replace. But also pick up and intake manifold gasket while your at it, you can't reuse the old one.

Wow this is becoming alot more common. I just blew my O-rings 2 days ago. Also posted a thread that same day, just to make sure it couldn't be anything else. You may want to consider replacing them with 20mm freeze plugs, as that will allow you to pull the mani off without ever spilling coolant, and you'll never have to worry about more O-rings letting go on you.

so i have not done this job just yet but it sounds like its not very hard to do. Is that right? so take off the intake manifold and the O RIngs are right there????
