OK,
A lot of coolant on the garage floor, when you start it up, it flows really good. So I looked under the hood, thinking this is crap as I just replaced all the hoses and TStat in Jan'01. Well what I find is... It is coming from a HOLE (about 1/8")by where the rad. hose goes into the block and 2" off-set. The hole looks like it is supposed to be there though. Can someone help?

Ron, Is the hole in the water pump or the block itself? The water pump has a weep hole and if that is leaking, your shaft seals are gone. If it is the block, sometimes there is a bolt hole in the front of the block that is drilled too far and hits the water jacket. If it is coming out of there, fit a bolt with some sealer on it to plug the hole. (small blocks for this, don't know about the big blocks)
