Water leak and it looks bad.
Trying to bring my 305V6 back to life. I had to put a new radiator in. Went to fill it and out of the passengerside comes a small stream/flow of water.
The engine is in the Suburban and I can't see where the leak is. It appears to be too high for a freeze plug. It is lower than the exhaust manifold. It could be about where the head and block connect.
Question: Is it possible that the head gasket is leaking or is that just wishful thinking? Or is it possible to have a cracked head, then what? If it has a cracked block then that's the end and I will replace it with an inline 6. It would be easier for me to pull the head in place, than to remove the engine from the Burb.
I have never had it running, although it turns over. Fuel line and wiring has kept me from starting until now.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
