Lightbulb Finding an antifreeze leak

A compression check is your first option here but an intake gasket leak is also a possibility. Do a very careful visual inspection of the intake gasket mounting surfaces (you'll need a droplight to see underneath it) while the engine runs. If absolutely no antifreeze leakage is visible, move on to the compression test to check for a leaking head gasket.

FYI: This will receive more replies if you post it in Tech.
