coolant leak after broken t-belt.
So after putting everything back together and filling the coolant. I closed the cap and turned the car on to just battery power. I turned it off and opened the cap to but more coolant in since the level had dropped a little past minimun line. and I hear coolant dripping\running on the ground. As soon as I close the resevoir cap it stops. Obviously I have a leak is it just stopping because I am pressurizing it? It seems to be coming from the head gasket area. At least i can see a pool of coolant next to the bearing that sits on the oil pump gear. Any help? suggestions?

replaced gaskets?
if youre seeing coolant seep out from the cyl head gasket id pull the head again to make sure you dont have the engine waiting to hydrolock when you crank it.

would the coolant leak from the head gasket that easily ???
I followed all the torque specs as well as order of tightening. Brand new head gasket. Brand new cylinder head bolts.
