head gasket leak?

    So how do you know if you have a leaky head gasket? I am down in FL at my parents house and I saw some drips under the right side of the car that were never there before. I looked and looked and could not find the source of the leak. So I removed the intake to get a better view and behind the the power steering pump on the head there was a puddle of antifreeze in a depression of the head next to where it mounts to the block. It doesn't appear to be dripping down the radiator hose where it goes above.

    Driving back to ATL tomorrow, will take frequent stops to check levels.

    Any idea how much it is to get a head gasket changed?

    Regretting this fix. Also have a PS pump and axle to get replaced...

    you may have a leak at the cross-over or from the coolant line routing to the expansion tank. check there first then worry about the headgasket

    thanks, I will get it checked out when I am back in town. I hope it's that over a head gasket.
