I tried the stethoscope also and a rubber hose. No joy. My leak was a blown exhaust gasket Directly behind where the pipe turns down. Couldnt find the noise to save my soul. When I FINALLY got the exhaust manifold off (drivers side, forearm is still brused from squeezing it between the power brake booster and all the other stuff) the gasket had a 1/4 inch section missing. Problem solved. Btw, when some of the studs come out, water will come out also as some go through the water jacket. What a pain.
