Haven't built an engine in a while, but IIRC the generator mount should=20
not be exposed to any coolant (it's basically a tappet cover with=20
mounts).=C2=A0 Earlier cars had a blanking plate in that area, but it's=20
probably just to cover the hole for a mechanical fuel pump and shouldn't=20
be near any coolant, either.=C2=A0 Have you checked around the thermostat=20
housing; they corrode and could leak?
