Re: Welding Cast Iron? Coolant in exhaust....what?

While waiting for my manifold to come back from the welder I noticed about a tablespoon of coolant puddled in the exposed exhaust port of my head. I wiped it out only to have it reappear a few days later.

I had not seen any milky oil under the filler cap or noticed anything odd out the tail pipe. Truck had been running great up until the manifold gasket failed. Not sure what is going on. Could I have cracked the head when I overtightened and broke the manifold? Is a head gasket/valve job now in my future too? Ugh.... suddenly life is getting complicated in my driveway....Ha!
