ok got the manifold off and it appears that the water is coming from there around the water ports, the intake gasket was slightly, swelled in the area around the jacket, thanks for the tips, im gonna install new gaskets and then pressure test the coolant system, to make sure that nothing else is leaking the the heads, the manifold had a slight oil leak out the back bu the distr,so it had to come off anyways,,,thanks again, mike
