[QUOTE="6uldv8, post: 16345, member: 7"] Friends truck 99' Chevrolet 5.7 Vortec ran hot last night.....he shut it down quick and got it home. We were expecting the usual water pump or hose or radiator etc..... to be the problem but it wasn't. If you are facing the front of the motor....the seam(on the drivers side) where the intake and block meet together almost at the edge where the head joins them is leaking like a mofo! It blows out instantly when you crank the motor I assume from just direct water pump pressure because it doesn't even have to heat up to start pumping out. I'm only slightly familiar with the old style 350 block and intake but I would think in that area if water were pumping out the front that it would also be pumping into the inside and into the oil...BUT.....there is no water in the oil YET.....I haven't a clue where all the water paths on this thing are but it just seems odd to be coming out that seam. Anybody familiar with this motor....does it sound like just a pull the intake and add gooey gasket fix or does it sound more serious? We'll be pulling the intake tonight but just wondered if any of you had encountered this before. [/QUOTE]
