Cm2250 drinking coolant

More than likely you have fretted a liner, mine did the same from a crap in frame from a dealership. Coolant was dripping into the #5 cylinder, the only way to find it is to drop the pan, pressurize the coolant system and bar the motor. Messy job, and may take a day or two to show itself.

Here is #5 cylinder in my truck from a few weeks ago, in frame is nearing completion. 2nd one, almost two years to the day. Sad.



Here is what a fretted liner does to the gasket, and same to the head.

   

This will just get worse, my first go around with a bad head took its toll on my truck, blew the hoses, radiator, Tri-Pac and cost me a fortune until I finally said enough. I should have brought it down here to GA to Mr Haggs, but it would not make it at that point. I am down here now at Rawze's house in framing it as I type. Real mess, the previous shop did a horrendous job on this motor. Bring it down here, it will be done right. I am right around the corner from Mr Haggai, going to the shop tomorrow to pick up some more parts.
