Possible engine replacement needed by try BAR'S LEAKS HEAD GASKET REPAIR or BLUE STEEL first. Bar's is usually less than $15 and Blue Steel runs from around $40 for 4cyl. to around $60 for 8 cyl. This sure beats the cost of engine repair or replacement.

What may be the problem is antifreeze is leaking in the engine compartment up by the fire wall in the middle of the motor but not in the vehicle and it is not coming from heater hoses?

if it appears to be coming from where the cylinder head meets the engine block, it is the head gasket. if it appears near the intake manifold and head, it is the intake gasket (or intake AND exhaust gasket on a straight six or Chrysler slant six). if it is coming from the engine block it is a freeze plug. some v-6 and v-8 engines are common for springing coolant leaks at the intake gaskets.


Small antifreeze leak behind the right side exhaust manifold and can not see where it could be coming from Any Ideas?

its coming fron the engine Had the same issue and while yes it is from the engine not sure if there is anitifreeze anywhere else :) The source was the lower intake manifold gasket was leaking, common on this engine... I was lucky and it did not leak into the oil. The gasket does not cover the front and rear of the block, that is where the bead of gasket sealer runs up the angle to the gasket. Where the manifold meets the block at the angle is prone to leak. Took me a day to do but I was in no hurry. Hope that helps
