Not that I'm the smartest in the world of LSR but of the vehicles I have viewed 
which have an open area under the engine and infront of the firewall everything 
that leaks goes toward the front of the engine especially if the grille is 
covered. This has happened to me with oil...

If you are using a wet water chemical circulating system a 4 nozzle around the 
entire engine works well.. 

On a vehicle with an open grille and flow through radiator nozzles in the front 
are probably best...Good luck J.D.
