Re: External coolant leak (intake manifold)

Most forums Ive been on like a fresh post when you change subject. The previous post was more to identify the manifold.
this one is to trouble shot the leak

Why would I take the manifold off?  I can reach them all easily. My question was "Seems like those bolts should all have a fiber or copper washer on them if the have to be sealing coolant." I have already snugged them down. I have never seen a flat washer that could hold back coolant under pressure. I can't believe any engineer would design somthing like this. The gasket is not leaking. The coolant is coming from around the bolt and flat washer
