Slight coolant leak..
I had my 10 on the lift yest and as I was looking around....On the drivers side of the block there is a oil cooler line that comes from a fitting screwed into the side of the block. I noticed it was wet under the fitting and there is a drip of coolant coming from it. I hope there was just not enough teflon sealer applied and its not crossthreaded in...I am taking it to the stealer just in case it is crossthreaded...

I believe there is TSB on this. Some cars have the fitting cross-threaded into the block from the factory. PM member 3Camarosonhand about it.

Mine was leaking from there also. I removed the airbox and was able to turn it with my hand. It was threaded very far out. So I turned it by hand until it was tight, and then torqued it down to 37 lbs. Can't remember if that is the correct torque spec, but I checked to make sure at the time. But it hasn't leaked since!!
