I can run a water hose into the radiator and see the   
water stream out . Not sure what it is. No water in
oil. Looking from the front of the engine the leak is
to the right of the thermostat housing in between

housing
is not leaking. Gasket?  1995 Suburban

Upper intake manifold gasket, I did it myself, i'm an electrician with little mechanical experience. Take your time, youtube it. 98 k1500 5.7... distributor timing is a bit tricky at the end..OBD2 and an app and you can get the can restart done, replace or clean spider injectors while you are at it...you'll be flushing tranny too...if wait on oil and filter til after a couple hundred miles

Hamed I just finished mine with great success. It was my lower manifold gaskets. I went ahead & replaced upper, lower & valve cover gaskets since I was already that far in. Had to watch YouTube videos & also found very good videos on www.AM- Autoparts.com Also videos on how to mark your distributor bcuz I had no clue. Best of luck!
