Well changing the oil tonight I noticed a very small drop, but a drop nonetheless, of coolant on the center bottom of the passenger side head, at the rubber gasket.

PO said the van had recently had new heads, this claim supported by the cleanliness of the heads, brand new pushrod tubes, etc. So -- what's my best first action to address this? Do the heads need to be retorqued after they are run in for a while?

Or once they start leaking is it a lost cause and they need to be pulled and re-sealed?

Allan
