i use to have the same problem its the cap in the coolant reservoir spilling out the cap so i took a air hose for a gas cap and stuck it into the hole and i never had anymore problems.

Your mechanical seal maybe bad. Start it up and see if water drips out under your water pump.

Throw that cometic away, and get a stock metal one. Cometic is junk, I use to blow one every other week. Then T n T motorsports told me to run stock ones.

Bad idea! By the time you realize that the gasket is leak, major damage could already be done. I would not wait for it to blow. I would repleace it with a OEM gasket ASAP.
