    Leaking antifreeze

     



    I'm noticing a coolant leak coming from the rear of my 327. It seems to be coming from what I imagine is a soft plug behind the flexplate. I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with any stop leak additives? or any other suggestions? Just looking for any way to avoid pulling the transmission.

    Thanks .....csw

    dump a couple teaspoons of oatmeal in the radiator. If that don't get the leak stopped, you gotta go in after it.

    Do it correctly, replace the freeze plug, while your at it, replace all of the back ones, freeze plugs are cheap.
