Found a puddle of coolant on my driveway this am. Dripping down from the bell housing and rear of the engine. Tracked it along the driver's side of the engine, and I can just get a glimpse where it looks like it's leaking out of the top of a freeze plug under the manifold. Not a lot, haven't even needed to add coolant yet.
I'm barely two weeks out from a frame-off restoration, so this is insanely frustrating. We didn't touch the freeze plugs, hadn't had an issue before now. Could have easily exchanged them while the motor was out if we'd known.
Going to get a quote for a mechanic to replace all 5 of them... how much do you think that'll cost? I'm sure I could figure it out in my driveway but not sure I have the patience right now...
