i just noticed after smelling burning antifreeze for some time now...that when parking my car after it has been run, antifreeze builds up ontop of the manifold and engine housing....

(better description) if your rats nest is removed...where the vacum lines that hook to the nipples under the carb on the manifold section just under it where the housing starts to contour down into the manifold.... i have antifreeze build up right there. but it puddles up after it has been run and sits.. kinda worries me. but its not bad it just puddles up but never flows out..and while the car is running it dosnt leak. and when driving it dosnt smoke at all except the normal cloud you get once you have hit redline and start deaccelerating.......



im thinking this means one of my rubber O-rings on the manifold have just leaked but to me it seems that it would leak when the car is running but it dosnt...??

any help or suggestions............?

 

Mine does that- I've found that it's weeping out from between the housings.

C'est la vie

 

i would replace those o rings and see if that solves the problem.

 

I have the same problem and i am replacing the intake manifold gasket and the o rings on wed I will let you know if that fixes it

awsome....please tell me if it does because i really want it to stop....but dont want to go threw the trouble of taking the carb and mani off just to that..

if I do i want to remove that butterfly on the rear mani runner...and send the carb off to Carl for the sterling mod....since it will already be off and stuff..

but let me know thanks..
