Coolant Problem. Head Gasket? Wd21

Pretty much where it is right there. I had to mess with the timing for a while (didn't mark the distributor) and I had the radiator cap off while doing that. Hopefully it found it's way out. But I don't think that was the problem last time. May even be a tad less than that after 15 minutes.

 

Actually, it doesn't get much above the cold mark after driving for 15 minutes. But will get warmer when going over hills. Then will drop back down. I checked the reservoir level this morning and it's still leaking somewhere, down to half in there, was full a night or two ago (when cold). I found this service bulletin thing...but I don't know where this plug is they are talking about....The only thing I could find in the FSM so far is an air relief plug, where ever that is

"- (95087) VG30E engine may experience a coolant leak due to threaded blind plugs

* TSB was probably meant to reduce the number of cylinder head gasket replacements - the real fix involved removing all the belts and belt covers and checking the blind plug; if a leak is detected, apply Teflon tape and re-torque."
