i have a coolant leak on the passanger side of the motor in the front of the car. as close as i can tell it is coming from the cylinder# 1 exhaust gasket. has anyone seen a head gasket issue like this or is there a coolant line above that that i can't see. it isn't the lower rad hose. like i said the highest point seems to be the exhaust manifold. but no bubbles and no creamy oil. in fact there hasn't been any running issues. i pulled the plug, it was the right color and the piston was dry. this was while i was pressure testing it. i thought maybe someone who has had the motor out, may have had a better look at that are of the motor. thanks.

Well I also have a 96 - mine is a 4cyl though and I had the same problem actually. It leaked for about a period of 3-4 days and stopped just as mysteriously as it began. I had it looked at while it was leaking and they couldn't find any areas of trouble at all. It's been find now for almost 3 weeks.

Check for pin holes in the mettle coolant pipe that runs across the engine (left to right) it is likely rotted.
