Can you drive a 1995 chevy. With freeze plug leaking

Engine blocks have multiple freeze plugs, also called expansion plugs, installed to block the holes used to cast the metal. The plugs prevent coolant from leaking out of the block, and if coolant freezes (due to improper concentration or extreme temperatures), the expanding ice pops the plugs out to prevent block damage. Now, from the factory the plugs are usually made of steel and therefore tend to rust out over time and start to leak antifreeze. Considering there are no cooling system components inside the bell housing, it is highly likely that either one of these plugs are leaking OR something higher up on the engine is leaking down onto the bell housing, such as a head gasket or coolant hose. A cooling system pressure test would need to be performed to isolate the source of the leak. You can read more here:

Hello Richard,

There doesn't appear to be a freeze plug on the front of the block.
They are always located on the lower sides of the block.

If you can see water on the front of the engine do a visual inspection when the motor is off and cold.

Take a rag and dry off any noticeable moisture. Start the engine and let it warm up, carefully check all the areas listed below to see if you can isolate the leak.

The radiator could be leaking and dispersing coolant towards the motor while driving the car. A hose or fitting could be leaking. The intake manifold or thermostat gasket could be leaking. The water pump could be leaking at higher RPM's.

Well if you can get to the freeze plug with the engine in the car, if it is a smooth metal one,just drive a punch or a heavy sheet metal screw into it with a hammer then pop out.Once the old one is out,clean up the area with some sandpaper.if you are replacing with a rubber one or a metal one,always use some high temp sealer around the replacement plug and let it sit overnight to cure so it wont leak in the future. Some freeze plugs cant be fixed without the engine being raised up or taken out of the car though just so you know.You will have to judge that by where the leaking freeze plug is.

FREEZE PLUGS LOCATED ON REAR OF ENGINE BLOCK.YOU HAVE TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION AND REMOVE FLY WHEEL TO GET TO FREEZE PLUGS.

check the radiator hoses and heater lines that lead into the firewall, you may have a freeze plug that slipped too

Remove the motor mount for another freeze plug is behind it

there are freeze plugs on back of block,between tranny and block. there are also ones on each side of block underneath exaust manifold.

Yes, if you remove the starter you'll see the freeze plug.

You will have to pull the trans to get to the freeze plug. Take a punch and knock one side of the plug in then pull the rest of the plug out with plires.Take sand paper and clean the hole, Apply permatex sealant around the new plug, and drive it in with a socket that will just fit inside the freeze plug. You should replace them both while you are there. Good Luck

If I rember correctly, there are two freeze plugs in the back of the block, behind the flywheel. They generally dont go bad often because they are pretty much protected. As that angelo guy said, more likely a hose or rear of intake gasket, but you have to look, from here I can't see it!!!
