coolant leak - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Greetings fellow Z's,
While attending Corvettes at Carlisle last year my Z sprung a pinhole leak in the lower rad hose

!!!! NOT AN EASY FIX, especially away from home. Anyway, I rented a Uhaul trailer & truck (R.I.P. OFF) and hauled it back home to Liverpool, NY. A buddy of mine suggested replacing the coolant with Evans waterless. I hemmed about it a bit and decided to give it a go. I followed their procedures, but after blowing out any trapped water pockets and refilling it with their prep fluid, I noticed a leak coming from between the rear block and bellhousing!!!!!!!!!!!! Are there any expansion plugs at the rear of the block that might have partially blown out or loose? Or any other ideas?
HHEEEEEEEELLLPPPP
