Default i need help!!! coolant leak!!

i know i'm not suposed to post tech questions here but i cant figure out how to do it on the web site. anyhow hears my problem. theres a huge collant leak shooting out on the passanger side of the engine bellow the manifold and above the oil pan. its comming from a pin hole leak in the forward most of three, 2" wide metal (steel) ports that are in the side wall of the engine block. theres no wires or hoses comming from them and they just look like access ports of some sort. anyhow what are they and how can i fix this?? any ideas??thanks --Andrew

sounds like you have a hole in a freeze plug, you will have to get to it and take a hammer and screw driver to tap on the top of it to get it to kick the bottom out so you can get it out then just use a big socket and a hammer to drive the new one in

Sounds like it is just one of your freeze plugs. You could put the ones in that you hammer in or the kind that spreads out when you tighten the bolt. Someone needs to move this post so you could get a few more answers though.
