Coolant seals??
So I've got an 86 GXL, and I've determined there is most definitely a problem with the coolant system. I've stopped driving it and need to try to figure out what EXACTLY it is. I've done a pressure test of the coolant system and of course...FAILED!! I'm noticing the same symptoms as most people: White, sweet smelling smoke from exhaust. Overflow tank FILLS and when running a while will BOIL! Can't tell exactly but a lot of the signs point to coolant seals... What else could it be?? Aside from hoses or the Rad cap, are there any other possibilities, or even something else I should check for??

I was afraid that would be the case. So this definitely means rebuild time. How much do rebuilds normally go for on FC's? Assuming I do more than just the coolant seals or whatever other problem is causing the leak.
