Update: after letting my truck run for hours the other day, the coolant in the overflow dropped 2 inches, done pressure test. Pumped it to 15 pounds, started dropping immediately. Didn't see any leaks. Had to make pressure cap work but I think it was holding, going to try to check it today. Also seen that drivers side head gasket was sticking out about an 1/8 inch back by #7 cylinder, wasn't leaking on the outside. It's raining today. I'm going to order a cylinder leak down kit or make one with all the other stuff I I have. How many pounds do you put in each cylinder? That 1/8 inch was 3 inches long and the only place the gasket was sticking out. Just wanted to mention last time the water pump was leaking inside, but it was much worse then. Actually could see coolant inside pan. Would it be best if I did that pressure test with oil pan off? You mentioned that the other day, I liked that ideal. I want to save bearings and everything else if possible.
