coolant leak, time to look deeper
Well I thought the coolant outlet gasket by the alternator was where my leak was coming from. Pulled off pulley's on right side and its mounting block to get a better look. (of course its just pulled forward against the fan since I didn't pull the fan yet. was hoping I wouldn't have too. The leak is below the the outlet and toward or against the block. I keep thinking its the head but my mechanic friend thinks the engine is running too smooth to be indicative of that. Its definitely on the right side. Anywhere else to look? I'm finding the leak by using a pressure test at about 15 pounds pressure. I can see the drips from below but just having a hard time identifying the exact source of the leak.

pressure test
Found a leak in another hose today which was making it hard to keep the pressure up so will get that one locked down and try again so maybe I can get a better flow out of it. When the engine was warm, it was a steady stream. However, it didn't seem to really start up like that until the engine was warm. Now with everything off, just doing it with the pressure tester.

leak
The leak is from the front of the engine, not on the sides. I had thought of the freeze plugs as well, but back and sides of engine look good.
