Tan,
If you haven't moved your car since it leaked, it will make it easier to find the general area. I would start by checking the cap and retighten all the hose clamps. Check the area around the thermostat cover. Hopefully its not the intake!

Tan - first place i would check is the thermostat housing. These are notorious for leaking. The "chrome" housings tend to warp and then start leaking. Depending upon your set up (not sure if you have a true 427 or a 351W stroked), it would be located right underneath your expansion tank.

I believe mine is 351W stroke to 427, I have not move the car yet, I will jack it up and look around

BTW, where is the thermosat housing?

Thanks
Tan

Thermostat housing is bolted to the front of the intake manifold where the upper 2" hose is attached to.
