I have a cooolant leak from Drivers side tube on engine block. Hope that's enough descrpition. How hard is it as a DIY? Looks like a lot of stuff in the way but a straightforward gasket replacement - what am I missing?

you're missing a photo for this thread, and a better description. Is it an Aluminum tube or a rubber hose? is it next to the radiator or peeking out from under the intake manifold? PIX

While your description is much less than adequate, if you can see it and know what you are capable of doing, then you have your answer.

It may be the water outlet gasket. Had my rear one replaced this weekend.

im guessing he's talking about the oil cooler tubes, that Rochester always relates to. If you're up north, its quite possible and replacing these wouldnt be far fetched of being needed

Rochester's tubes are on the Pass side real low on the block . You would need to be under the car to see them

You should look into getting your tubes tied since they are rusty.
