    antifreeze leak @ rear of block

     



    I'm noticing a coolant leak coming from rear of block. It seems to be dripping from rear oil pan seal. I'm wondering if there is a soft plug behind the flex-plate or what other possibilities might be causing the leak. This is on my '65 327, mostly sits, driven very little. It would be nice to know where to begin rather than just start pulling things apart. Thanks so much for any advice or feedback. csw

    I think there is a freeze plug back there.I had one go out on my falcon back there and it was no fun getting to it to replace it.

    I remember when hot rods were all home made.
