Coolant seal?

Alright so i took everything off the manifold side of the engine and have a remote starter hooked up. When I spin it over alittle it spews coolant out of the exhaust port and some out through the intake. Is there anyway to tell if some coolant just fell in there or is it time for a rebuild? When running it didn't smoke but ran alittle warm.

I might try some block weld though. I have heard of some people using it.

So you took the lower intake manifold off and cranked it over? Notice how the intake manifold has four holes to transport air in it? Now take a look at where it mounts on the engine block. Notice how there are six holes? Two of them are for coolant, the ones that are in the aluminum rotor housings. I'm taking a guess that is the source of your coolant leak. I obviously can't see what you're doing, so does that make sense from what you're able to see? You could try the same thing with the intake manifold attached to the block to determine if this is the case.
