I have coolant pooling on the top of the timing chain cover on a sbf. motor was recently rebuilt. cant see it leaking when at idle, but when i drive it a few miles and park, there is coolant there again. Anyone have any ideas where its coming from.

passenger side? if so it could be the spare bolt hole.. some times it needs to be filled with rvt to stop it from leaking..
