Pass side coolant leak...

I'm sure its something missing, just not sure what and or where it goes, basically somewhere on my pass side of engine when i put new coolant in it drained right out, somewhere above starter and below cyl head. Pictures would help greatly, I need to know where it is, and what I need to get to plug it....

Re: Pass side coolant leak...

If I didn't have close to a grand in my 6 and wanted an 8, then yeah it might be, but that's not the case, I'm either going to try having it welded or get a 3.4 shortblock......unfortunately this means more time, money and patience, all of which are in short supply of late.

Re: Pass side coolant leak...

I have a 3.1 L block that I just took outta my car because it needs freeze plugs. The block isn't cracked or anything, it needs a freeze plug behind the flywheel, and a crank kit, cause it is seized up.
