I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to replace a driver side frost plug. It is the front one right by the motor mount. I do not have a engine hoist.

That was cute, I've never heard a freeze plug be called a "frost plug" but same thing, okay listen closely, you will probably have to remove the motor mount, but you will not need an engine hoist, takes some 2x4 wood for spacers and a jack, and jacked the engine up on the oil pan, remove the motor mount, remove the freeze plug, go to your local parts store, and they will sell you a rubber one, which will be easier to install, and next time check your coolant before winter comes.
