There are three plugs on each side of the block under the exhaust manifold and two in the rear of the block between the engine and transmission. If the rear freeze plug is leaking, it can be seen by antifreeze leaking out of the bottom of the transmission bell housing.
Yes the timing cover gasket can leak coolant. The coolant passes the waterpump and is pump into the engine block thru the timing cover. to see the actual leak jack up passenger side of car support with jack stand take off wheel and the splash guard now you can see the crank shaft pulley look up at waterpump on both side it goes back to engine block with a mirror you can see it leak.
OK... You see it under the car, right? Go in the engine and under it to wipe splashed power steering fluid off the surfaces. Next, put white paper towels under the areas of the engine below where the power stearing pump and hoses are. Run the vehicle at idle and turn the stearing wheel left and right while someone looks under the engine and back to the hoses and stearing pump on top. Yo might be lucky and see spirting from a hose or fitting! If not there should be dripping onto the paper eventually. Turn off the engine and look for streams running down those hoses. Follow the streams upstream to the leak or leaks. If they are from cracked hose, chamge both hoses. If they are from a seal in the power steering pump, replace or rebuild the pump.
What you describe sounds like the heater valve. It is used to shut off coolant flow to the heater core when the heater is not turned on. If it is leaking, replace it.
Your heater core has developed a leak (of coolant). The smell is the "sweet" smell of ethylene glycol, a component of engine coolant. The white smoke is steam coming from the heated coolant evaporating. The coolant is dripping into your duct work under the dashboard, and apparently being evaporated out of the ductwork and sent into the passenger compartment, meaning its a small leak. When the leak gets worse, you may get wet carpet on the front passenger side.
your fluid is anti-freeze/coolant leaking from the heater hoses or heater core inside the heater box.check level of coolant in overflow reservoir under hood.
