2001 5.9L 24V Coolant Leak @ Head Gasket!

:rocking:Hey guys!

my 24v is developing a coolant leak when hot and at working temperature only. the leak is just below the thermostat housing and seems 2 b right at the head gasket. Is that a commonly known problem? when I pressure test the system below working temp. it doesn't leak. I put a 7psi rad cap and some Barsleak for now but more is needed. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Keep on dieseling!

Fairly common thing. Do you have any performance mods?

I would stop with the Barsleak and replace the headgasket.
