This has not only happened to me!! I have seen from repair shops that this is a regular thing. The timing cover will start leaking at seam with block. At the chanel where water goes to waterpump. The metal there gets ate up by the antifreeze and thins the wall till there is a cupped out place at the seam. The aluminum gets eroded there. I have never seen this happen on any other car. 5.9 liter V8, 360 cubicinch engine. The metal there has to be substandard!! it is not the gasket but the timing cover that is defective. It will cause the engine to run hot. The timing cover is sub standard.
