Freeze plug.

I have a 1997 Transport which I just replaced the head and intake gaskets on. Started and ran perfectly, followed the posts in this forum for the Transport and Venture gaskets and everything went well, however I have coolant leaking from the passenger side freeze plug under the radiator. Can anyone offer some guidance on how to fix this thing? Is it just a matter of tightening? Could it have blown when the gasket went bad?

thanks.

If it is a freeze plug leaking you will need to replace it with a new one. Not an easy job given the fact that the plug is in such a hard place to get to. You can try a block sealant. If the leak is small this should do the trick. I usually don't recommend block sealant but this may be the easiest way to repair this condition.

Thanks, Dad, actually, it's at the base of the radiator on the passenger side, the collant is dripping from the round plastic/rubber disk at the bottom of the radiator where it rests through the frame.

False alarm, I accidentally knocked the small metal pipe below the main hose on the radiator loose when I tore down the engine, I did not know the freeze plugs were on the block, I thought they were on the radiator.
