Thank you Fixkick for your prompt response. Good job fixing your water pipe....some people in farms around here empty their water pipes in the evenings before the night freeze to avoid bursting outdoor above ground water pipes.....shame one cannot put anti-freeze in the domestic water tank ah
It was not so cold here, around 30F and yes there is anti-freeze coolant. It is usually the coldest that you can get in winters here on the isle of Elba.
In your second response did you mean that the coolant might not drain from the block but from the external side of the head gasket? Maybe no crack in the block?
Maybe when new head + new head gasket were replaced the head bolts were tightened /torqued wrong??
It is the mechanic who replaced the head who told me of the crack in that area of the engine block but I'm sure the exaust manifold needs to be removed to look properly where the leak comes from?
