I have a 95 blazer 4.3 vortec I notice that I was smelling coolant in truck and no heat or defrost and the temp hand was at half way and truck have not did that since i had it so I thought it was about to over heat. So I changed heater core. Then I replace water pump and thermostat. Get everything back together and now i got a leak. Everyone said LIM gasket so I replace that and I still have leak. I notice one day water was leaking behind power steering pump. I don't know where leak is at. Its not leaking where I have replace parts and gasket at.....any idea really confused
thanks in advance

It sounds like it is still your LIM to me. Did you use the new Felpro gaskets (I don't have the part number handy)? Did you torque it down correctly?
It not the LIM you may be looking at a head gasket.

Maybe its a head gasket. Why dont you try having it pressure checked. With the engine off it might be easier to tell where its coming from

I had a leak and did the intake with the steel felpro gaskets still leaked
I found out a bolt was missing in water pump mounting bolts could be your problem too! since you said its by power steering pump
