I'm hoping for a little advise from the collective.
Quick back story:
2003 Disco with head gasket replacement about 20k miles ago (done under previous owner)
Starting leaking from throttle body heater about a month ago. Because it's the dead of winter in Wisconsin, I had a local indy shop replace the throttle body heater and swap out to a low temp thermostat while he was working on the truck.
Fast forward about 3 weeks. I'm driving the truck for work and notice a puddle under the truck. It's dripping something (looked clear and didn't smell like coolant) from the back of the engine (right side over the cat). I open the hood and the coolant level is low. I top it off and drive it home.
A few days later, I start the truck and get it to temp. No leaks or drips. I drive it for about 20 minutes and everything looks fine. The coolant level stayed steady. For shits and grins, I pull out the block tester. Yep...it turns yellow.
So my question is this:
Head gasket
or
Intake gasket
Is it possible to have exhaust gasses in the coolant from a bad intake gasket?
Aside from the rear frame rust (which I had planned on replacing/repairing), the truck is super clean with only 96k miles. It hasn't thrown any codes or 3 amigos. I'm into the truck for almost nothing (literally almost nothing).
