Long story short...

In process of working on the interior of my duster. I found an issue with the wheel well (needs a patch) so I need to take to a shop to get new steel welded in. So.. I refilled the radiator to get it running again. Well dumb me did not fill the radiator enough. So got car running, tweeked the carb, and was goin well, then i noticed the temp gauge creeping up. So i shut off. Got new t-stat,inlet housing,gasket replaced them. Started filling it up, and now there was a steady drip of ANTIFREEZE coming from the oil pan. It stopped after about 5 mins. I noticed before the oil pan gasket didnt look good. but never had antifreeze till now.

Any ideas??

Have to say Im gettin real frustrated with this car.. thanks..

You sure the water pump didn't start leaking and run down the oil pan?

I had a 318 that held its water until I put coolant in it. Then the water pump started leaking. Check the weep hole in the water pump.
