Freeze Plug

I have a 97 Taurus 3.0 v6. I think there may be a anti freeze leak coming from my freeze plug. 1 is this possible and how do I correct it. I have checked all hoses and around the water pump and thermostat and found nothing. Please help

Re: Freeze Plug

You need to have system pressure tested to determine where the leak is coming from. If it is a freeze plug, yes you can replace it.

Re: Re: Freeze Plug

Way2old thank you for your reply to my post. I will have the systum pressure tested but the only place I see anti freeze is around the area where the freeze plug is. Not knowing much about engines I was woundering if it was possible for it to be coming from there. Thanks again

Re: Freeze Plug

Yes it is possible. The plugs are replacable and it is not too hard of a job if they are easy to get to. Some people have reported good luck using the rubber expandable type. I use the metal replacement. Good luck.
