Found a bad expansion plug (some call them welch or freeze plugs). Good idea to fix this one now while I have the suspension apart. Not tough but time consuming. I hope this video saves someone else time and money as there was not a lot of info out there on this one. The 389 has four large block plugs. Two on either side. (there are more as well under the bell-housing)
Two you must remove the exhaust manifold to get to.. So start soaking those bolts.
And periodically flush and drain at the engine drain plugs for a more efficient motor!
No need to pay big bucks for this once you discover the easy way (which took me an hour or so).. Edited somewhat but you get the idea..
