ok so after reviewing the manual for the last 3 hours here at work im still confused.. so im taking it to the forums for other help.

my cars almost completely back together and the only thing i have yet to do is figure out my fuel system new set up get the dizzy lined right for the timing.. and put oil/filter in her/on her... well i put coolant in it about a week ago and it started to leak out the head.. just taking precautions i redid the head gasket with a brand new one and used a copper sealant... which really is a cool product. well everything sealed up fine on the head but now when i turn her over shes pissing coolant from around where the oil filter is... did i somehow get a line swapped and caused the coolant to get in the oil areas? i have yet to pull the plug on my pan.. but as far a i can see this is clear bright green coolant. no residue in it what so ever...

the only thing i could find in this area with coolant that might be causing this is the oil cooler... it directly pumps coolant in that area. but i found nowhere where it pumps coolant to where it would be entering the filter. ive never come across this situation before so anyone know?

make sure all the sensors are tight and sealed on the block. such as the coolant temp sensors. might help.

i found what it was!...

i forgot that i had plugged up the oil pan again so it wouldnt drip on the floor and when i was pushing coolant thru the system with the crappy head gasket it got down to the pan... its good now though
