Hey guys im spitts new to the forums, i have a question about a coolant leak. I have replaced the timing gasket, water pump and gasket freeze plugs, and water inlet and hose.... NOW the tricky part i am still leaking it is dripping down from somewhere and seems to be pooling up by the tranny and leaking at the lowest part SOMEBODY HELLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!????????

 

sounds like it might be from a freeze plug on the back of the block, or head ? is there one in the head? those will be damned hard to see and replace. if its in a really hard to get to place i'd put a whole tube of rtv all over it and hope for a miracle.

 

If i'm not mistaken, there are also 2 freeze plugs on the back of the block behind the flywheel. The only way to get to them would be to take the trans out and spin the flywheel a little bit to get between it. I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing this when removing, installing, removing again, installing again, removing once again, and installing once again my transmission over the last 2 months.

 

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM MAN!!! drips from the back of the motor off the bellhousing. I have a spare engine I will see if there is any freeze plugs on the back of the engine but I didn't think there was. I overheated my truck and herd a "pop" and its been leakin ever since, so there might be one back there I will check. Maybe some radiator stop leak could seal it up???

 

appreciate the help if you could check that spair engine it would be greatly appreciated

 

I had a coolant leak from a freeze plug that leaked back to the exact same spot. check the bottom of the block.

 

so after pulling the tranny, yes their are 2 freeze plugs inside the transmission housing which were both rusted through all that freaking work for those two plugs just seems stupid but oh'well all is good now
