Can you tell us exactly where the water is coming from? Pictures of the leak
source would be extremely helpful. A video would be even better. Could be
you forgot to attach a hose or left a drain plug out. Could be the engine
was run without water and burned a hole in an exhaust tube. Could be a
cracked block or exhaust manifold. Running antifreeze thru an engine (the
Skipper method) is a hit or miss proposition and very wasteful of
antifreeze. Draining the engine and manifolds isn't hard. I don't know why
so many people are reluctant to do it.

Jim, for some silly reason I've thought the anti-freeze route was the way
to go. I've been afraid that draining the block through the drain plugs and
draining the manifolds through their drain plugs was more dangerous than
putting in anti-freeze - that a little water may be left behind to cause
serious damage. I'd *love* to learn that I've been wasting money all these
years!
