That sounds very similar to my situation. Not quite sure that I understand what you mean by the boss that goes down to the sump ? Is this the oil return path - interesting. Yes, my plan is to get the pan off and pressurize the coolant with some dye in it and hopefully locate it. </div><div>So your repair was done with the tappet side covers off ?

We would find coolant in the oil on the dipstick and filler cap. I found when we pressurized the cooling system with the engine warm, no leak noted, with the engine cold a slight coolant leak in pressure. I decided to drop the oil pan to look for leaks and found a very slight leak internally dripping into the oil pan area. We found that the leak was from the boss in between the 6 and 7 tappets. With that tappet cover off we could see coolant drips forming in that boss running down into the pan area. It would only leak when cold. Porosity? I think so. I decided to Peen the boss with a punch and seal with JB Weld. It has been good ever since. I suggest dropping your oil pan to look for leaks might be the least invasive first step in locating your problem. Good luck. </div><div><br></div><div> Wayne</div></div>
