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.
is coolant leaking from engine?or is it leaking from water pump and running down engine and appears to leak from engine
the heater core or heater core hose is leaking engine coolant
If coolant level gets too low the engine can overheat.
That is a common problem with the vortec 350 engines. The intake manifold gasket starts leaking in the corners of it. That is where the water jackets are and it's only about 1/4 of an inch wide and when it starts leaking it allows engine coolant to leak into the lifter gallery and into the oil. Need to replace intake gasket as long as you no it did not freeze and crack the engine block.
It is possible for engine oil to float on engine coolant. This occurs when there is a leaking or blown gasket.
A 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3 liter engine takes 13.4 quarts of coolant. It is suggest that the coolant be mixed 50/50 with water.
this is usually engine coolant leaking in
The 1995 Chevy Silverado coolant sensor is located on the front of the engine. The coolant sensor will be a few inches above the thermostat housing.
you might have a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking into the cylender and the engine is burning it.
The head gasket sits between the head and the engine block if it is leaking out where you can see the coolant, yes you can smell the coolant if it is leaking into the engine no you cannot smell the coolant. You can check the oil to see if it has coolant in the oil if it does then the head gasket might be blown.
Your engine may have a leaking hose connection or a leaking gasket at the water outlet. It could also be a leaking hose.
A leaking heater core will cause the engine to overheat because the coolant is leaking out.
