My 1987 Pontiac Bonneville has a leak at a freeze plug. Is this a hard thing to fix? Will radiator stop leak and conditioner temporailly fix this problem? I can't even fill the radiator with fluid because it comes right out the freeze plug. Help!

You need to replace the freeze plug-you can drive it out with a screwdriver or use a dent puller/slide hammer

Thnx rasmatz. It looks complicated to get to. It's the front freeze plug. Does the engine need to be lifted to get to it?
