jumping jesus christ on a pogo stick, that is one of the dirtiest engines i have ever seen.

regardless, that lower hose doesn't look replaced to me. its just as dirty as the motor

I think you should use a pressure washer and clean that engine, then you may find out where your leak really is at.

i clean it constently, i think its oil from the valvecovers... there either loose (which ive tried tightening) or the gasket is bad. id like to take them off and replace it but im waiting on new injectors so i can just take the upper intake off and replace those gaskets also... i hate myself.

dude, i can see a crack in your crank seal. thats not a valve cover leak.

mcginnt

i see no crack?

dude that coolant is comin from up higher. I'd say it could be your water pump. I didnt watch the video yet but from that pic alone you can see a drop of coolant above what you circled. Its also wet in other areas. With leaks you are supposed to look high and go lower, looks like you just went str8 to the bottom[:@]

thats definately water pump, or the lower radiator connects to the water pump
