When pouring coolant in the radiator of a 1999 Chev Blazer, it runs out around the back of the engine on the driver's side. Where is the Coolant Freeze Plug on the rear Driver's side of a 1999 Chevrolet Blazer?

The location of the leak is important, if it's low on the block, it's a freeze plug, if it's between the block and the head, it could be a head gasket, if it's at the top, it could be a broken heater pipe inlet or intake manifold gasket.
