You could be getting antifreeze from the head or just a bad head gskt. or it could vary well be the block is cracked behind a sleeve ??? don't know for sure and the only real way to find out is , yep yo guessed it to take her all the way down and look as you go .

It was just the block stress relieving it's self. The MD's -450D's were good for this .
