I have a faint drip of coolant coming from my block. Probably about a couple drops in 3 weeks. Its not a lot so is there anyway of stoping this leak without changing the head gasket?

Well it all depends were the leak is at. It could be your pump, freeze plugs, or a hose. Check to see where on the block the water is coming from, and then we can go from there. If its your water pump or a hose just replace them. If it is your freeze plugs you could try radiator sealer, or just all out replace the plug. I would go with the rubber replacement freeze plugs. they are easier to put on than the metal or Brass ones.

While your car is running, get a nice little peak under it. I was delighted to see my waterpump was just pissin all over me.
