Wayne,
Thank you. That sounds very similar to my situation. Not quite sure that I
understand what you mean by the boss that goes down to the sump ? Is this
the oil return path - interesting. Yes, my plan is to get the pan off and
pressurize the coolant with some dye in it and hopefully locate it.
So your repair was done with the tappet side covers off ? Maybe that is a
block weakness and I get lucky with a similar fault.

Wayne - you are a star !
I got lucky and think that I have found it.
Started by removing the center tappet side cover.
Just like your experience - mine is below the center cover mounting boss;
there is a ridge there just above the distributor drive.
Was this where the one you worked on was ?
Actually looks someone tried to repair it before. Have no idea what they
used, but is a soft white putty like substance and the oozing got worse
when I removed it. Had the coolant under pressure.
So now have to clean up and think about a repair technique.
Thank you for responding .

 Congratulations on finding the leak. I would not have much confidence in a=

Hi Roger,My friend who had=C2=A0a=C2=A0 Healey 3000 had=C2=A0 a similar iss=
ue. We would find=C2=A0coolant=C2=A0in the oil on the dipstick and filler c=
ap. I found when we pressurized the cooling system with the engine warm, no=
 leak noted, with the engine cold a slight coolant leak in pressure. I deci=
ded to drop the oil pan to look for leaks and found a very slight leak inte=
rnally dripping into the oil pan area. We found that the leak was from the =
boss in between the 6 and 7 tappets.=C2=A0 With that=C2=A0 tappet cover off=
 we could see coolant drips forming in that boss running down into the pan =
area. It would only leak when cold. Porosity? I think so. I decided to Peen=
=C2=A0 the boss with a punch and seal with JB Weld. It has been good ever s=
ince. I suggest dropping=C2=A0your oil pan to look for leaks might be the l=

MIG/TIG isn't usually effective on cast iron. Brazing might be your best 
bet, and plenty strong. I brazed a mis-sized plug on a so-called 
'uprated' water pump for my BN2 that wouldn't otherwise seal up and the 
result was good, but I feared I'd damaged the seal. Clean best you can 
and use a good flux.

                        <div>I got lucky and think that I have found it.</div>
                        <div>Started by removing the center tappet side
                          cover.</div>
                        <div>Just like your experience - mine is below
                          the center cover mounting boss; there is a
                          ridge there just above the distributor drive.</div>
                        <div>Was this where the one you worked on was ?<br

                        <div>Actually looks someone tried to repair it
                          before. Have no idea what they used, but is a
                          soft white putty like substance and the oozing
                          got worse when I removed it. Had the coolant
                          under pressure.</div>
                        <div>So now have to clean up and think about a
                          repair technique.</div>
                        <div>Thank you for responding .</div>

                                to my situation. Not quite sure that I
                                understand what you mean by the boss
                                that goes down to the sump ? Is this the
                                oil return path - interesting. Yes, my
                                plan is to get the pan off and
                                pressurize the coolant with some dye in
                                it and hopefully locate it. </div>
                              <div>So your repair was done with the
                                tappet side covers off ? Maybe that is a
                                block weakness and I get lucky with a
                                similar fault.</div>

                                <div dir="ltr">Hi Roger,
                                  <div>My friend who had a  Healey 3000
                                    had  a similar issue. We would
                                    find coolant in the oil on the
                                    dipstick and filler cap. I found
                                    when we pressurized the cooling
                                    system with the engine warm, no leak
                                    noted, with the engine cold a slight
                                    coolant leak in pressure. I decided
                                    to drop the oil pan to look for
                                    leaks and found a very slight leak
                                    internally dripping into the oil pan
                                    area. We found that the leak was
                                    from the boss in between the 6 and 7
                                    tappets.  With that  tappet cover
                                    off we could see coolant drips
                                    forming in that boss running down
                                    into the pan area. It would only
                                    leak when cold. Porosity? I think
                                    so. I decided to Peen  the boss with
                                    a punch and seal with JB Weld. It
                                    has been good ever since. I suggest
                                    dropping your oil pan to look for
                                    leaks might be the least invasive
                                    first step in locating your
                                    problem.    Good luck. </div>

I am definitely not an expert however I have successfully repaired some
irreplaceable cast Iron water pump impellers using this product.
https://www.silfos.com/EN/Products/EASY-FLO-45.htm
I opted to use this because a very much lower temperature is required.

    MIG/TIG isn&#39;t usually effective on cast iron. Brazing might be your
    best bet, and plenty strong. I brazed a mis-sized plug on a
    so-called &#39;uprated&#39; water pump for my BN2 that wouldn&#39;t oth=

    seal up and the result was good, but I feared I&#39;d damaged the seal.
    Clean best you can and use a good flux.<br>

Thank you and I do like the look of that lo temp silver solder for other
applications and maybe if I haven't fixed it.
There is no definitive crack as such. It is block cast iron porosity. It
oozes very slowly from an area of about 1.5 x 1 in.
Access is limited too. Just hoping that there are no other porous areas.
A proper fix to my mind would be engine out; block stripped and vacuum
resin impregnation - probably not going to happen for now
What intrigues me is that this is in exactly the same location as Wayne's
friend had.
So it surely is a weakness of this block ?
Wonder how many others there are out there - some maybe unknown too ?
I only picked it up by noting the creamy damp gunge in the inside of the
valve cover.
Remember too that less than a teaspoon of glycol in the oil triggers the
oil analysis alarm.

This may be heresy, but you might want to try one of various 'stop 
leak/head gasket sealers' for at least a short term solution. These are 
usually a silicate solution that solidifies in cracks; they generally 
don't work as well as claimed, but they sometimes work at least a little 
bit. I've not known them to block any coolant passages because they 
don't work THAT well, and there may not be enough flow in this situation 
for them to work at all.

My dad worked from the Ford assembly plant that built Mustangs back in 
the '60s; he said they threw a bottle of Bars Leaks in every car's 
radiator. My engine builder, who worked at Jaguar said they did the same.

This guy at least tries to do 'scientific' comparisons:

Bob, When I was having head gasket issues a few years back we (Mike Salter
and I) considered using Bar-Leak or similar.  I decided to have another go
with an up-market gasket, which did solve my problem, but in talking to Mike
and doing a little research I would have tried Bar-leak with little
hesitation as my next solution.  I think the opinions on it blocking water
galleries and rad cores is not based on anything and if it blocked a rad
core I'd day the rad core was almost completely blocked to begin with and
was in need of re-coring.  The stuff is not a back-yard solution and I
believe it is a good product.

Just my two cents (based on some research and discussion with people I
trust, not personal experience).

Cheers, Mirek
