1st time post here, so thanks for any reply's ..

The problem I have with my 308 is I have coolant coming out the driver side
header flange, not ideal. The car is running fine & not getting hot or missing.
So how does the coolant get there ?? I'm thinking maybe head gasket, I have'nt
given it a compresson test yet. Thought I'd just see what you guys think would cause
it to happen..

cheers Jeff

Do you mean out the exhaust oft between the block and the head?

it's coming out the exhaust, if it can get in the header from there
then it could be the issue.

If its coming out of the port into the header than the port wall in the head is stuffed. New head needed

Hi
Is it possible that it’s coming past the thread on a manifold bolt.
Normally the holes are blind but it’s easy to punch through if drilling out a broken bolt. Cheers
