Had some coolant coming down from the back of the block. Initial thought was freeze plugs, and yes indeed, the one furthest back seems fairly corroded.
Yikes. How do I pull out the old ones and avoid them dropping into the block? I assume I have to pull the exhaust and intake manifolds to get to them? Can I recycle the gaskets, or should I order up new ones along with the plugs? I think I'll do the five along the block, the ones in the back and front (?) seem like too much of a PITA!
Suggestions?
