Am I Screwed? Pics Inside
Well.. let a friend have some fun in my 5.0, like I personally always do, and parked the car for work. Walked outside to a puddle of coolant, and what LOOKED to be a crack in the block (around the area where a 'previous' crack may have been).
I need some second/third opinions. Crack or just a gasket?
It seems to be seeping out of the timing cover gasket (from a piece of it that decided to come out), but I'm kinda 50/50 on which it might be based on the look of the area.

Appreciate the input, and will give this a shot after work tomorrow.
Edit - Might be helpful to say there's pretty much no coolant in the block, as it wont stay in the block for long without completely leaking out from the area. (some stays in the block, but the radiator gets dumped)

What am I looking for with the pressure tester. Just air coming from the gasket area? Air coming from the surrounding area around the timing cover (aka block)?

Comes out of the seam between the timing cover and block when I fill it. Blew it off when rad was filled to make sure and confirmed it.

Was this the same block that chunked out in that area? I remember that thread awhile ago but can't remember how you fixed it. Someone mentioned JB Weld, but don't recall if that was used. If it was, there's your problem.

I'll do a more thorough check tomorrow when it isn't raining outside, and go from there.
