For one reason or another, I stored my oil drain pan under my MM, it fits perfectly and is out of my way. I went to change the oil on my truck on Friday, and there was about a half pint's worth of antifreeze standing on top of the drain pan. I can't see where it would have come from. I have my pipes off and am in the process of blasting and painting them, they've been off for a few weeks, rags stuck in the exhaust ports to keep debris out. It just kind of 'happened'. What do you guys think is the issue? Dry-rotted lines? Cracked block somewhere? Where would you start looking?

better check the water pump bolt where the impeller is.May need a new rubber gasket for that bolt or else the water pump seal is leaking..went thru this myself...

squeeze your hand under the water pump and find the weep hole, then see if theres any liquid on your fingers. just did a seal as well. almost a lost cause till i heat cycled the sled 4 times, now shes sealed right up.

And if (when) I take this apart, should I get all new wear parts?
I'm guessing #4 and #9...
I ordered #12, but it looks fine. Can you get the seal out while the motor in the sled?

yes the gasket #12 is a good idea if the old one was pinched or over stretched.Do a search on replacing the seal.When I did mine,I posted everything on here along with pics,just can't find the post now.
