Hey Guys You Are highly reccomended for the DIY Guys in the world! However I have come across aproblem that has me miffed! My 1990 Deville tarted Leaking collant about a week ago, knowing the common Joe I tried the stop leak products to no avail! I changed the water pump because the root of the problem seemed to be in that general fool proof area. After completing that , the collant was leaking from the front of the car which i think signalled a leak from the hoses. After inspecting them I was still leaking. My Question is.. " Is there a freeeze plug in that area that could be causing me all this greif? I am low on finances and this is getting costly! Help me 2pros I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly theruler...

There might be freeze plugs in the cylinder head, but I don't think so. You said front of car, are you talking front of engine(belt end). You could have a timing cover leaking, inlet housing behind the timing cover(behind w/p pulley area), intake gasket leaking from one or more corners, head gasket leaking externally, cracked radiator side tanks, loose hose clamps, etc. Have never seen a freeze plug leak.
