So I have a 99 teggy and i had a small leak right next to the radiator hose and inlet. I just have been refilling my coolant. I havent driven it very much, so today i drove it came home and there is coolant spilling out it seems like from the block......under where the radiator hose is and right around where the headers connect to the block.........is this a blown headgasket? if it is could it have been a small leak that turned into a blown headgasket or was this a blown headgasket the whole time?

Its something external. Blown headgasket would not have coolant flying out everywere like how you stated.

Coolant drain bolt on the block is loose? I doubt it though. Might be worth checking.

Sometimes a leak from a hose or from the radiator itself will spray back ontothe motor. Leaks are commom from the plastic/metal seam on to of the radiator. Mine sprayed everything. Wash it down and then start it up and look. You should be able to see a leak like you are describing, especially once it is hot.

well i'll let it cool and pull it into my garage and run it...i'm going to refill the coolant....the leak was only from the hoses before and if its a new leak from the radiator it would suck......so going to get rid of this car lol

Coolant lines or radiators are all easy fixes.
