yeah, I dont know what the deal is. I am sure though that it was coolant coming out. I have the muffler disconnected so the coolent doesnt rust out the muffler. Im no mechanic so im not sure as to how it is happening but Im sure that it is. Could the head have heated up to the point that it warped a little and coolant was making its way thruogh? I am going to take the head in soon to have it magnafluxed(i think thats what its called) and machined if thats what it needs.
Thanks,
Paul
