coolant leak
Its leaking coolant really much,ive looked but i cant seem to find exactly where its leaking from,does not seem to be any hose,its from the right side of the enginge somewhere.Right side if standing in front of the car.
Someone suggested me it could be a "freeze plug" i dont know if thats the right word for it on english.But he said they can rust and then leak.
If it is a freeze plug,do i have to take the engine out?

exactly my point its very tight,maybe if i remove some thing above then i can get to i..but i think the water pump is more in front of the enginge,this leak is on the side of the enginge.
Its leaking under the headers somewhere (or what they are called)

The plugs are called casting plugs, and there are different ways to repair them. Drain your coolant, to include the drain plug on the side of the block. Then knock out the casting plug by using a scredriver and hammer to "turn the plug" then remove. Clean the opening where the replacement plug was, then using a loc-tite or eq. coat the replacement "brass" plug on the edge, then tap it back in place just under the face of the block using a large socket or eq. There are also replacement rubber compression bungs that will work, but they only last 1-2 years. If your leak is coming from the water pump then I think you know what you have to do.
