you may have a cracked block, bad timing cover, etc.

check the timing chain cover like chris said, if the timing chain was rubbing against it for a while, it may have eaten a hole through it.

[gnarl240]

where would it rub a hole through to let coolant in?should I replace the block?could the water pump have something to do with it?

[gnarl240]

I think I just found a crack in the timing cover behind the water pump. In the water passage that goes into the block is kind of dark brown and on the timing chain side is a silver line maybe 2in. tall.I am going to pull it apart tomorrow and inspect it closer.

CONGRAT'S CHRIS, Not sure if that's your first or if that's a recent pic, but either way, congrats and work hard for the little one! Boy or Girl?

I'm a relatively new dad also, son's now 16mos. It is a character building experience.
