Acura Legend leaking freeze plug Questions & Answers ...

That is referred to as a freeze plug. They are placed in engine blacks and heads to prevent cracking should the coolant freeze in the block. The expanding water would push them out. They will rust out over time. They can be removed and replaced. They are just a press-in metal disk.

freeze plugs ( welsh plugs ) rut out with time
this is a very good possibility'
If it has then replace as many as you can get to as they will all be much in the same state.

The passenger side of the engine is also where the water pump sits.
The freeze plugs would be along the block between the engine and the radiator and between the engine and the firewall.
The water pump would be behind the serpentine belt or the timing cover depending on which engine you have.

Rather then playing the guessing game an replacing part's that doesn't fix the problem , do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop.

Sounds like you have a leaking freeze plug, you will need to replace it, hopefully it is rusted and leaking and did not pop out due to freezing temp, some of these plugs are in spots thatcan cost alot to replace, the plug itself is a few dollars and new coolant . the cooling system needs to be drained because when plug is removed all coolant will run out , the plugs are all over the block, this is designed to pop out plugs and not crack block if there is not enough coolant and to much water and it freeze in cold weather the water expanding pops plugs and not cracking block, some are behind ****** or bracket and so on, you will need to locate the leaking one and see if it is something you want to do. good day

Could be one of the freeze plugs in the back of the block. You'd have to remove the transmission or motor to get to it. Also check the heater hoses at the firewall, the intake too. A mirror on and extension might help.

yes it has freeze plugs,water pump may be leaking,fuel pump has nothing to do with coolant leaking

freeze plugs are supposed to pop out if the coolant starts to freeze in order to keep the block from cracking. the holes the plungs sit in are als used to cast the engine. see a mechanic and tell him you need a freeze plug replaced and show him which one it is, it won't cost more than $35. PLEASE RATE MY ANSWER.

Freeze plugs are generally pried out and pounded in, although some are available that seal by squeezing a rubber piece between washers. Use 2 wrenches to tighten these. All generally available at auto parts stores.

The real problem is often getting to the leaking freeze plug. Some are on the lower sides of the block with plumbing and accessories blocking access. There are also some on the rear surface of the block, which usually require separating the transmission from the engine to replace.
