if it only leaks during starting then thats really strange. but if you have a leak some where, then when you turn engine over it will turn water pump that will pressurize engine. if it leaks while running the engine then be careful and try to find source of the leak, it is most likely a bad seal, having bad seals is really really bad, it could leak into oil, not good for lubrication, find the source of your leak, or if its small enough leak, then put some stop leak threw it i wouldnt trust it farther than you can throw it, but if it works then i would suggest replacing all of your coolant to be on the safe side

Will increasing the flow rate of coolant cool the engine faster?
No, if the coolant circulates too quickly it will not have time to cool down and re-cool the engine. The coolant would become extremely hot, and cause your engine to overheat and thus causing possible engine damage.

What would cause engine oil to get milky brown in cold weather?
Probably coolant in the oil from a blown head gasket which might also cause excessive steam from the tailpipe and hard starting. The coolant also could get into the oil through a crack in the engine block.
What component regulates the temperature of the coolant in the engine?

My suburban 96 5.7 engine wont start unless you spray starter fluid in carborator?
Does the engine continue to run on it's own after you gave it a squirt of starting fluid? If so, try replacing the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. If the engine runs only on starting fluid but not on it's own I would suspect the fuel pump is bad.
