Update

After using my heater for awhile I developed a coolant leak, it looked like it was coming out of my thermostat housing. I changed that and it stopped leaking for a day. I changed the water pump and gaskets a couple of months ago, so it only left my intake gaskets. I changed the intake gaskets and it didn't help . After that I changed the water pump gaskets and finally it still wasn't fixed....

It turns out that the water pump was leaking originally, but I didn't get a good seal when I did the thermostat housing so it also leaked.

I got that all sorted and after much learning from the process it's fixed. I feel like its got more power now (I also changed distributor). I haven't really seen any improved mpg's, but I was on winter break and so I didn't really go anywhere.
