DESERTDOG240d, this line makes me think it is the freeze plug.
While underneath the car with a flashlight, I had my wife pour a small amount (pint) of water through the upper radiator hose. It took about 15 seconds for it to find its way out the back of the engine. {quote}
the head gasket is exposed all the way around the back of the head. so if it is leaking I would think you would see the water trickling down the back side.
was this with the engine running, or not?
I agree with AH-KAY that the Citric acid did not make the engine leak. there was a problem already there, and it just let you know where it was.
Better to find out now than on a road trip some where.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
