My car will occasional leak some coolant and i saw it dripping down where the oil pan meets the block. it was leaking at the end of winter/begginning of spring but when i started driving it this summer it stopped. i had it out this weekend and got on it a little and i noticed the little puddle under my car again. i jacked it up and only saw it dripping off the frame and location mentioned above. i looked in the engine bay and felt around under the headers and i think i found a freeze plug on the driver side toward the front of the engine. it is to the right of the oil filter. it seems there is a little bit of coolant oozing out of it.
is this freeze plug difficult to replace? can i do it with the motor in the car? do i need to remove the headers. i already had the one on the rear driver side of the engine replaced. that one was rusty and so i think that is why it started leaking. i tried that one on my own and an hour later i had a face full of coolant and i just put a hole in the freeze plug.
also, does anyone know why it leaked at the end of winter, stopped and then started again this weekend?
any help will be greatly apreciated, thanks
