Default Coolant Leaking

Hi All,
I have a 1999 Dakota R/T that has just sprung a coolant leak. All of the hoses seem to be fine and I can't see the source of the leak from the top of the engine. When I look underneath, it looks like the leak is coming down in between the engine and the tranny. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you, T

Sounds like it may be a freeze out plug. There are usually one or more on the back of the block in the transmission bell housing.

Hmmm... I was hoping it wasn't that. I actually had the freeze plugs replaced about 3000 miles ago at the dealership, maybe the messed one up.
Thank you, T

Thats what I'm here for.[sm=smiley2.gif]If one of the plugs are even slightly in wrong it will cause future problems.
