I've got water pouring out from around the bottom of the left side head.
Blown head gasket is what I am thinking but the truck is running just
fine. I'm just losing water by the gallon all around the gasket area. Any
advice before I start this repair would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Intake manifold gasket with almost 100% certainty.....these engines are
notorious for it. Just a matter of time. Don't replace it with a GM gasket
either....
