rear engine leak from up high, could be valley pan. but really you need to find the source before anything. get $3 worth or uv dye additive junk and put it in there. it will help you find the leak, especially if it is only present at operating temp. I would think if it were as simple as the o ring, the pressure test would have had that sorted out
Went and did the heads(full kit with new head bolts),water pump,wire and plugs,ignition coil, reseated throttle body new oil and oil filter, and man does that morher ****er run the best since I've owned it. Real strong. No leaks anymore from the engine. Found all parts, for the most part, on ebay. Roughly $500 and I'm back in business. Should have done this long time ago. Head gasket wasn't terrible but was definitely compromised in the back passenger side section of the engine. And I'm told that is where the water would be traveling through. Prolly wasted time and money messing around with the valley pan,throttle body, and themostat. But o well not the end of the world...new parts. Make sure when you take the heads off have a machinist re plane them so you know your time invested will pay off.
