fluid leak

When the engine is running somwhere in the back near where the tranny is connected the anti freeze is leaking in a steady stream out. Its not from any hoses on the engine nor the radiator. I am unable to go look and see where it is coming from, because I am 250 miles away from my car, just have my dad working on it. he makes it sound like its not coming from the heads, or anything on the top of the engine, is it possible its one of the freezer plugs cracked ? and is leeking from the back of the engine? if so are those easy to replace without pulling the engine?

It might be a bad rear intake gasket. Mine leaked down the back of the block to the transmission area. Pretty much just have to remove intake, distributor, and stuff and then slap new gaskets down and reinstall everything and run a timing light and you should be good to go again. If it's the intake leaking.

that would be amazing, heh wouldn't need to do too much work, just new sealant goop. I could probabbly get it all done in under 1-2 hours.
