    it can run fine, but that needs to be fixed. coolant leaks dont get better, they get worse.

    id make sure that middle cylinder is the same on compression as the other 2 back there. hell check am all.

    I dont plan on driving it like that i meant for diag purpose, could a engine w/ warped block still run fine? I would think it would have Miss or would be bad running overall

    if the cylinders got full compression sure. one of the cooling ports are leaking maybe.

    if the head bolts are tight and your sure its leaking out of the heads to block area, take the head off. check it out.

    What else could it be leaking from in the back head area. I know its not the heater hose's or freeze plugs back there that are leaking

    thats about it. you can put a cooling system pressure tester, and force it to leak so its not hot and you can get a better look or your hand in there safely.
