My Z starts to leak some sort of blue ish liquid. Please help

I'm probably installing my temperature probe this weekend. All gauges are in and wired, but the probe isn't installed. I'm putting z1's adapter block inline on my upper radiator hose.

That the same location that I have mine at. I'm changing it to the metal tube behind the intake manifold. At the radiator hose. The gauge doesn't read temps until the thermostat opens up. At the metal tube or the heater hose locations. It will read temps as the motor warms up.

I was concerned about that and asked around (not here) and was apparently given bad information. How hard is it to get to your new location, I can't picture it in my head

Here's the Z1 heater hose part. This is the easiest way of doing it.

The metal tube/pipe is aluminum. In the pic. It is above the flywheel. Going from head to head. It's bolted to both heads. There is a gray/green plug just above it to the left center. It's a PITA to get to. But it's the best place to install a temp sensor. The next place is the heater hose.
