feel aroung the back of the cylinder head. bet there is a missing casting plug. looks like a freeze plug thats in the block, and about 2 inches in diameter. if one of the 2 are missing it will leak under acceleration. a new one can be put in without removing to much stuff. cab air inlet, vaulve cover, the rear engine harness, then use an 18 inch prie bar to press ina new one with some sealant
good luck
