Anti-freeze leaking from 496
I went out the other day to charge the batterys and noticed that the anti-freeze resivoir was empty .I did some looking around the bilg and found the missing anti-freeze . I started checking around the engine and found anti-freeze leaking around a seal that connects the heat exchanger to the crossover tube . Has anyone had any similar problems on a 496 Mag HO ? The engine is still under the factory warrenty,but the dealer is over an hour away so I was thinking about fixing myself . Is this an easy fix . Or do you think that there are bigger problems other than a bad seal ?
