It seems I have a head gasket leaking coolant. I pressure washed the area and took it for a drive it looks to be green coolant coming from the right head lower front corner. Has anyone had head gasket issues? this truck is killing me , Just put GPR , GP, Starter and all injectors. Now it starts great when cold , But now I have this coolant leak.I've has three 7.3 and never had a coolant leak at the head. The truck has 167,000 and a mild DP tuner tune

Head gasket leaks are darn near unicorns. Were you Jack the Ripper in a previous life?

Sure it's not coolant leaking from the heater hose? Can ya post up a pic?

I found the coolant leak today I removed the A/C pump and support bracket and found a plug in the head that has a 1/4" square drive that wasn't very tight. Also the front seal on the A/C pump was leaking and green dye was tracking down the bracket right onto the head. Does anyone have the part number for the a/c shaft seal?
