Strange Coolant Leak Help PLZ!!

87TurboProject · 03-08-2006, 07:40 AM

I'm having a coolant leak on the drivers side of my engine about 1/3 of the way back on the bock under the aic.
I thought it may be the hg even though the engine had been rebuilt about 60k before I got it but there is no compression loss,no power loss or overheating and nothing in my oil.
I can see part of my block is wet and if I drive it for a while it will steam but I cannot see a leak I have replaced both uper and lower aic gaskets and while it was off looked with a mirror to see if I could tell where it was coming from and the head looked nicely mated with the block with no visible defects(head still shiney silverish and block was painted red.)
I am at a loss on this as I don't want to kill the car but I need to drive it to work and back and don't have the cash to go to a shop.
If someone could please help me I'd greatly appreciate it.
