Hello , i recently had my engine overhauled and had the head cooling mod done by my builder . After about 200 miles on the car after reinstalling the engine i started to see coolant on my garage floor . Not a lot but it started getting worse . First on the passenger side , now on the driver side ( straight down on the floor ) . I also noticed dried coolant spray on my firewall . After getting on it hard in hot weather it seems worse , like the puddle is much bigger . Now 2 questions

1) Is it possible it’s just the hose ends on each side that’s loose like the hose clamps and not the “ blocks” to the heads leaking ?

2) do you think it’s possible to get to the clamps by just removing the exhaust to tighten them without removing the transmission?

Has this happened to anyone else ?

Ok , 3 questions lol . Thanks

It’s tight back there. However while I was waiting to replace heater core I had ran a bypass hose from passenger to return tube.

I had to remove the vacuum hose harness and some electrical items

This was best I could do to get hands in to work.

They make a tool for the squeeze type clamps I wish I had pliers aren’t fun

I don’t have hcm but understand what your dealing with
