My 2000 Silverado has a coolant leak. I've brought this up before. But now what seems odd is that it doesn't leak when it's running or warmed up. It only leaks after it has sat all night and has cooled down. Then in the morning it leaves a nice puddle for me to clean up. I guess it's probably the rate of expansion between the two dissimilar metals that has caused the gasket to fail. So when I fix it can i expect more of the same another 35K miles down the road? Is there a trick to applying the new gasket so it will seal? I guess if there was then Chevy would have used it.
