since doing a coolant flush, i've noticed a coolant leak. it ends up dripping off the crankcase in steady drops. it leaks about 1/4 of the reservoir and then stops. i top it off and it doesnt leak any more until i drive it again. ive recently replaced the waterpump. could this be the headgaskets? if so, would a liquid headgasket sealer be worth a try? if so, is the expensive stuff like blue devil worth it or just go with the cheaper bars leak?
thanks,

what will the location of the leak tell me? im pretty sure that no hoses are leaking as all the connections and hoses are dry. it doesnt drip from underneath the radiator either. since its dripping off the crankcase that means its coming from the engine somewhere, right? how will the dye help me narrow it down further than that?

You need to find exactly what gasket is failing, it could be the difference between a $25 repair and a $2000 repair.
