Where would you guys start? I have read not to pressurized radiator. Look at head studs? Pull oil pan? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. Carl.
 
just for satisfaction read the plugs, but pulling the pan would be the first most likely thing to do and have a look up there. even place a clean cardboard or plastic on floor an wait for coolant drips overnight if have to.
 
Pull the pan.If you have access to a radiator pressure tester,put a little pressure(5-7 lbs) in.Look for drips apearing.As was said,cardboard underneath to catch drips.Sometimes it takes overnight for them to appear.Before you pull the pan,start engine,run for a bit.Look in radiator when engine is running.Look for bubbles/foam.These are indicitive of a failed head gasket.
 
We had a couple m's in tech that had that problem. All were cracked heads. I would pull the head and have it pressure checked, sometimes if the head studs are not sealed right they will leak also.
 
Don't disassemble anything until you have removed the pan and valve cover and had a look inside. Adding a low amount of pressure to the cooling system as Delta Red has said will not hurt anything, that's how radiator shops check radiators.
Depending on what you see will determine what to do next.
Good luck
