I have a colant leak that is coming from where my front cover and frount housing join. Well right, underneath the water pump. It is only under high reving, like when I was at the drags. It is a 13b with holley set up. I am concerned, it seems to have lost a little bit of power, and stumbles a little high in the rpms, since this has started. I will show some picks. It is a very very slow leak, hardly anything at all coming out, but its still there. The guy who built my motor broke a mount of the front housing and JB welded it back together, and that is right where it is leaking. I am not sure what to do about it now. The pic shows where it is coming out.

that involves pretty much taking the the front of the motor. Can I even do that and have it still run right when I put it back together?

Guess no one has any ideas huh.. I might just RTV it or something and see if it hold, but I have to make sure everything is nice and dry first.
