so they finally found the leak
they said the O ring going from the cooler to the manifold is leaking
i think i said that right
so what would it hurt to leave that for a while and just keep an eywe on my coolant level?
remember i am having #5 injector replaced

No, repair it promptly, there is no coolant level gauge, you could drive tomorrow and it gives up the ghost, leaks coolant and your motor overheats and now you need a long block for 13k, if you know about it, fix it.

Is it where the coolant pipe attaches under the manifold? When I put in my delete I remember putting a lot of JB weld on that fitting, I was scared that it being under the manifold I would have to remove everything again if it leaked.
