I was wondering if you could tell me if this is a freeze plug or whatever because it looks cracked to me it looks really small I know freeze plugs are usually bigger. But if you can help me out in any way you can help me to get it out I would really appreciate it.

I forgot to send you a better picture this one I blew up so you can see it more. So I am going to send the same picture but smaller. As I said my question is that a freeze plug or I do not know what that is and how do I get it out and replace it. Whatever it is.

You have leaks there, but they do not seem to be coming from that plug or the oil sender. The leak appears to be above and to the left of the oil sender. You should clean that area thoroughly, then run the engine and inspect it again.

Thank you. This is one of the best sites I have been on. On the other sites you ask a question and they talk to you like you are stupid this one not at all. And I appreciate that. That is why I had so many questions because I never wanted to ask on the other ones because I saw how they talk to people. Thank you for your time and I really appreciate it.
