I had the head gasket done two summers ago, cloudy oil after a busted radiator. Rarely drive it. Replaced the heater core in the Fall. Started to use it around town when the salt went away and noticed it was consistently low on coolant. I can't see any leaks so I do a pressure test. I can see it dripping from the rear of the engine underneath but not exactly where from. I checked the heater core and that seems dry from inside under the passenger feet. Hoses clamps leading into the heater core where a little loose so tightened and stopped dripping there but still dripping near the rear of the engine somewhere. Water pump not leaking. I did a block test and it is not showing any head leaking. Where could it be leaking from?

Exhaust video is from when the truck first starts...runs rough...just replaced the distributor cap and rotor so not that.
After it warms up it doesn't run rough anymore.

Coolant in the radiator doesn't circulate from what I can see.(video)

 
Maybe from rear coolant lines running to the secondary core under the seat (assuming you have one)?

Circulation wise, mine is the same way, not like the old Fords and Chevys where the coolant is almost blowing out of the cap if you take it off when running.
 
There are coolant hoses between engine and firewall. Replace if they have not.

Yup, this is the mess that is hiding by the firewall…I just removed all of mine and bypassed.
