hi I would drain the antifreeze coolant and use distilled water, at least till the leak stops, antifreeze seems to leak more then just plain water, I only use water with a water wetter or water pump lube, after I know I do not have any seepage, I also saw people use this ,, you can loosen the head nut and wrap string around the stud, this acts as a gasket, [you can check to see if there is a crack in the head at this time, ] re torque the head, old mechanics trick ? hope this helps, 1937RAGTOPMAN

1936TWC, nelsb01 gave you the most likely source of the leak. Try this before you add any stop leak. Drain the coolant, remove the to hose from the head, clean the surfaces where the hose connects to the head and then coat the inside of the hose with Indian Head gasket sh*llac, install the hose and tighten the clamp securely.
