Have had a coolant leak on the 5.7 chevy that was from the intake manifold right beside the thermostat housing. Coolant was pooling there. There was a threaded stud for a ground on the manifold bolt. I remember tightening that stud up a few mths ago. So last night I removed the stud and replaced it with a bolt washer and torqued it as well as the bolt beside it to specs.
End of leak without having to replace the intake gaskets.

You better do it now, once you retire you won't have time. Just ask anybody who has "retired".
It's a Chevy........ supposed to leak. You know how hard the engineers work to put that feature in there?
