Head problems see pictures !
Here,s the deal...I am almost sure but you never know? After starting and letting the car warm up it starting hissing and dripping anti freeze from the last header bolt or in that area. I took some pictures to try to shed some light? Guesses?
This is closest to driver, I cleaned around the head
The below picture is only after a few minutes of shutting it off. You can see the puddle

RE: Head problems!
didnt we go over this already... a LONG time ago!!!
the coolant is coming up past your rear most head stud. drain out your coolant, unbolt the stud, pull it out, clean it off.. add ALOT of thread sealant, screw it back in, and torque it down

Sure enough, I drained the anti freeze, un did the stud bolt and took it out and low and be hold, a stream of anti freeze poured out...What is the proper procedure of sealing it up? Do I coat the threaded inbound side with sealant?

RE: Head problems!
^^^^^^^you need to remove the stud and coat the base stud threads with high temp teflon thread sealant and reinstall and torque to proper range....the lower studs all enter water jackets so if you didn't use sealant on them..I'd remove them and do it
