I have a 1999 5.9L 4x4 , every few days I get a drip of antifreeze from the gap between the bellhousing and the engine. I figure its probally a freeze plug, but before i tear the transmission off to change a $2.00 plug is there anywhere else I could look where the coolant could be leaking. Mainly the rear of the engine?

 

Possibly from the rear of the intake manifold or maybe one of the freeze plugs behind a motor mount that's spraying towards the back. But I doubt it.

 

Mine dripped from there when the drivers side freeze plug behind the engine mount was leaking. Coolant would wick back along the oil pan, and finally drip out between the engine and trans.... Clean everything off REALLY well, take it for a drive, have a look.

 

stop leak....
