Tim, Pull the plugs, wad up a paper towel like a wick and carefully stick one end in plug hole one at a time. If you think you hit bottom wait a minute or so than remove and see if there is antifreeze on towel. If so you will have to judge the amount if very little or none I would retorque head. if alot you may have to replace gasket. Sometimes retorquing will stop the dripping in and out. oldiron29
