Check the overflow (plastic tank) connections. There are two of them. One at the top of the container and the other at the bottom. When draining and refilling anti freeze; I believe this is where it is done. Remove the plastic tank cap and remove the bottom hose of the container. Place the bottom disconnected hose in a container to catch the old antifreeze, flush out the radiator then reconnect and fill thru the container at the top.....note: you can also disconnect the hose at the bottom of the radiator to speed up the process if more convienent? . Use the new 50/50 pre mix antifreeze for longer life and service. note: you do not have to add water to the mix. i.e. take out a gallon or two and refill with the new a-freeze. If you drain out the entire sustem; i.e. engine block, radiator, etc, then it becomes a bit more involved. Run the engine after filling, and leave the cap off the tank. This is to PURGE the air from the system.. Turn on your heater/temp switch; run the engine for 10 minutes or so till the thermostat opens. Keep refilling the tank container up to the cold level.. maybe watch for a week or so. Always fill the plastic container when engine is cold. If all is done correctly, you should feel heat coming from your inside vents after 10 minutes or so.. have fun!

There is a heater hose that goes to the left rear top side of the intake manifold and that fitting leaks engine coolant sometimes and it will run down the back of the intake around the distributor. If that fitting is not leaking then the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant in the corners of it. REplace the intake gasket. That's all that can leak coolant on that year engine.
