Anti freeze drip? Need help
OK, here's the deal...Drove the stang to work today due to the great weather we are having. Car has been running great, no issues...Did a clutch drop burnout for about 25 feet. Right after I parked the car I heard a slight hissing coming from then engine bay compartment after looking around I noticed a tiny set of hissing bubbles coming from the header pipe drivers side closest to the firewall cylinder. Secondly, there was a small puddle of anti freeze under the car. The interesting thing is that I drove the car home and no issues, no leaking. However, when I opened the hood, I heard a small hiss again this time it sounded like it was coming from the passengers side near the beginning of the fuel rail or radiator somewhere. Did I blow something, crack or what?

RE: Made power run slight anti freeze drip? Need help
Any ways to be exact? The car runs great....That's the weird thing. They are GT 40 Irons studded, thought they could take a beating?

It's possible the water jacket runs directly behind that header bolt in which case if it corroded through you would get leaking. Only way to be certain is to pressure test the system and take that header off to see exactly where it's coming from.
