If you have coolant on the top of the engine it could be a leaky thermostat housing or a leaking intake gasket.
What if your 1992 Chevy silverado is leaking engine coolant from the top of the engine just below the distrubutor what is leaking?
There is a heater hose that goes to the left rear top side of the intake manifold and that fitting leaks engine coolant sometimes and it will run down the back of the intake around the distributor. If that fitting is not leaking then the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant in the corners of it. REplace the intake gasket. That's all that can leak coolant on that year engine. If coolant is leaking out between the transmission and engine block then you have a freeze plug leaking in the back of the engine, between the transmission and block. Must remove the transmission and flywheel to fix it.

Will a blown head gasket keep a car form cranking?

How do you check for a blown intake gasket?
Look for leaking antifreeze/coolant. Usually you can see it leaking around the top of the engine. Also check your oil, if it looks milky it has been mixed with coolant and you intake manifold gasket is leaking. That being said, it is possible to have a leaking intake gasket with no sign of leaking antifreeze. Most intake manifold issues/leaks are coupled with poor engine performance and even sputtering and lack of power.

I have a 1994 Ford Ranger XLT it always needs transmission fluid but I never have a pudle from it leaking. Also when i hit the gas white smoke comes from the tailpipe. What wrong with it?
The transmission fluid could be leaking into the engine coolant through the transmission cooler in the radiator. You should be able to see the transmission fluid in the engine coolant recovery tank. It will look like a oily film on top of the coolant. White smoke (steam) out of the exhaust indicates engine coolant is leaking into a cylinder.This can be a result of a blown cylinder head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. Have the engine coolant system pressure tested to detect the leak.
Why do you see coolant leaking on top of your engine?
Some engines have coolant passages molded into the intake which is mounted high on the engine. Some engines have the thermstat housing positioned high on the engine. These are two potential origins of the leak. Dry the liquid off the engine and run the engine while looking for the source of the leak.
What could be leaking coolant on the top radiator hose on 02 volkswagen beetle?
If there is coolant on the top radiator hose, it may be coming from the hose itself. It may have a hole or cut in it where coolant is spraying out when the car heats up. If there's no hole in the hose, check to see if the clamp needs to be tightened up.
