Hello, I have a 1983 Monte Carlo CL with a 5.0L 305 with 98876 mi. When I start the car in the morning I notice coolant leaking in front of the engine and also pooling on top near the valve cover.I dont think its the water pump ( not sure though) doesnt seem to be coming from the weep hole. What else could it be. Also it stops leaking once the engine warms up. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey gear,
Sounds like the intake gasket has failed, there are coolant passages in the intake. I would recommend to clean the area very well and identify the exact spot. Let us know!
