Never knew the core was leaking as bad as it was until I saw blue-green fluid drips from under the pass. side floor board. I lifted the floormat on that side and the rug underneath was completely saturated with coolant. It was leaking into the pass. side cabin without any signs until it was too much for the carpet to soak up and then started to leak out of any open orifice in the floor pan. I replaced the core and haven't had a problem with coolant loss since.
I also had a problem with loose head bolts which were allowing coolant to leak into cyl 1. It's a common malady with '97/'98 9K's. I removed the valve cover (can re-use gasket), loosened each head bolt, then re-torqued to the proper amount. The procedures have been posted here before as well as on Quasi's site (maybe even Townsend's?). Been good for a few month's now.
