well got under it this morning, and was dissapointed and happy at the same time. The puddling is in fact coming from the heater core hoses, but while i was under there, i noticed my oil pan gasket is starting to leak, and the head gaskets have some wetness around them as well. I purchased the gasket kit through rockauto 11k miles ago when the motor was rebuilt, and it was all put together correctly, but all the gaskets seem to be letting go already which kind of pisses me off. Im probably gonna do the head gaskets now before they go completely because im leaving for school in january, any tips or tricks that make it easier to change the rear? All i can coem up with is rocking the motor forward. thanks guys for all the input
