Magnum head gaskets most usually leak externally on the left side between the fuel filters and inj pump or in the back of the engine. There are times that I've pressure checked a cooling system and had no leaks but when it gets hot it leaks. I feel that this might be a possibillity hear and that it would be coming from the sleeves either a pin hole or o-rings(not saying that it couldn't be something else). There are test strips for testing the DCA in your anti-freeze and will tell you if you need to precharge or just change the water filter. Preventing electrolosis is very important on these engines and this minor maintenance can prevent costly repairs. I've noticed this in the tractors that come in for the winter program on a regular basis compaired to those that come in 1 in 5 years.
