1750 mystery coolant leak

[GModelle@domain.elided]

Gentle Alfisti,
Today after a vigorating romp over the causeway, I smelled sweet wafts of 
coolant in the cockpit of my spider. This has happened before, and there was 
evidence of a leak, but I was never able to track it down, as it was 
intermittent. Today I reached over the cam cover from the exhaust side to run 
the throttle up a little to see if I could get a clue, and alas, the front 
cover gasket was failing, pissing a perfect stream of prestone directly at 
the back of the alternater. This only happened when the revs were up above 
idle. What an insidious failure!  My task load now involves yanking the 
motor, unless anyone out there has a better idea. "Leak-stop"? "A raw egg"?
Thanks, Digest.
