My freeze plug on the left side of the engine has come out and I'm in search of info as to the exact location of it if possible, please?

Unfortunately, the manual on these older cars is not that detailed. So, we have to rely on some pictures of these engines.

I am attaching the info below but another way to find this is to fill the cooling system with water and track when it is leaking. Clearly it is going to be pouring out of this hole so you will get a pretty good idea pretty quickly as to where it is.

Once the repair is finished you are going to want to pressure test the system just to make sure it is sealed properly.

Hopefully this info helps but let us know if you need more info and we will see what we can find.

Thanks
