HELP!! Antifreeze leak.
When I turn the car off, it dumps antifreeze out of the back on the motor. Is there a hose back there or is this a blow headgasket? Why would it only do it when I turn the car off?

Can you better define that? There are 2 hose connections back there for the head cooling. From the rear of the cylinder head, under the intake to the pipe which runs over the top of your exhaust manifold. I would be pretty amazed if you were pushing antifreeze out the head gasket.

Oops, I always forget about that stock stuff. Since mine is completely stripped there is a lot less to fail. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

It's only doing it when you shut the car off because you have a leak at the heater control valve, and the heater control valve is normaly open (i.e. with no vacuum). Since it is summer, you have your a/c control turned to the cold position, and that will close the valve when you start/run the car. When you shut the car off, it loses vacuum and the valve opens and dumps a little bit of coolant.
