Mark, That's where my '84 used to leak. I use AlumaSeal and others on this list recommend BarsLeak. I chose AlumaSeal because I felt that the powdered aluminum might be sacrificial instead of the heads corroding. After 18 months without further leaking, it started to ooze again, so I added the second dose of AlumaSeal and no more leak. Others have cautioned that leak stopping products may be hazardous to the radiator. However, I live in Phoenix with days above 110 and have not overheated yet. Yes, I run the air conditioning. Mike
