head gasket??
ok, so a few weeks ago i noticed some anti-freeze on my starter motor. not much but it was there. than it got a little worse. like the starter is not covered with coolant but its a little wet. than i thought i fixed it by changing the freeze out plugs. ( one was sorta rusty) than i notice it again yesterday and it looks like its coming from between the head and the block? does that mean its a head gasket or could the head be warped? any ideas???
Yes, it could be the head, but,,,
Before you go to the extent of tearing down the engine, pressurize the cooling system and get mirror to check the rear of the intake. Many times it is the rear water passage and not the head. The coolant can run down and look as though it is coming from the head. If it turns out to be the head, there is always a chance of warpage. You'll have to check them.

yeah i checked the back of the motor with the system pressurised and nothing. i tried to post a picture before, but it didnt work. you can see where its running down the side of the motor. so im gunna assume its the head gasket.
