For the last couple of years, Blackstone had report that there was coolant in my engine's lube oil.
I had some much Bar's Leak in there it made a hill where it ran out on the shop floor.
That did not work.

Tonight, I lifted the intake. Where the leak was is evident (to anybody that has been and engine analysis guy for decades).
I will, when time permits, put this together as an album.
For those that care, the problem was caused by a lack of coating applied at the front left port to the intake manifold.
Pictures at 11. (Which 11?)
