Yes, if you have a severly blown head gasket, it is letting coolant into the cylinders. If too much coolant gets in, it will cause stalling, usually only at idle speeds. i would suggest getting a compression test done and checking the head gasket, and most likely, you will need it replaced, if you cant do it yourself, it will be close to $400 for pats and labor, $350 is prabably labor. Labor sucks!

Why would Engine coolant leak when starting engine?

if it only leaks during starting then thats really strange. but if you have a leak some where, then when you turn engine over it will turn water pump that will pressurize engine. if it leaks while running the engine then be careful and try to find source of the leak, it is most likely a bad seal, having bad seals is really really bad, it could leak into oil, not good for lubrication, find the source of your leak, or if its small enough leak, then put some stop leak threw it i wouldnt trust it farther than you can throw it, but if it works then i would suggest replacing all of your coolant to be on the safe side
