Well I have been losing coolant the past couple of days and noticed a small leak. When I was filling the radiator earlier it started pouring from the back of the motor. I think its the intake...

Any help or input?

Very possible it is the fitting on the back of the intake manifold for the water line. Those corrode and break off. I know the TBI motors had them, not sure if the Vortec had the same water line.

I'll check it out. Forgot to mention this is leaking with the truck turned off

Thank you. I was getting ready to tear in to the motor and checked that fitting and sure enough it was leaking
