So i had major leak at what seems to be a plug right below the exhaust manifold at the front of the engine. What plug is it? and is this common? its at the shop right now but they dont open till the morning. Just want to get a heads up on what it might entail.
I poured water in the radiator and it poured out as fast as it was going in from just under the exhaust manifold.

I believe that's the ect. The coolant temperature sensor.

This motor is spun upside down, but on the front there are 2 frost plugs that are right below the exhaust manifolds.
Do those look like the spot they are coming from???
10-29-2013
yes, now when i had it up on the tow truck i took a look and saw alittle dribble out. didnt have any water with me anymore to be certain. but that looks exactly where it was comming from

Is that a second temp sensor?
10-29-2013
That's one of two Knock sensors next to the freeze plugs.

im hoping its just that, should I tell them to flush out the dex cool and put in the green stuff? I do believe i still have the original LIM Gasket and I have an 04

Yes, but your call.
10-29-2013
so whats the downside of flushing out dexcool? i know the upsides, lol
10-29-2013
None, just make sure all dex is out or you will get brown sludge.

Dexcool allegedly lasts 100,000+ miles.
If you can keep any trace of air out of your system for 100,000+ miles...

Cam.. you made me double take.

turns out it was my block heater that popped. should i be worried as to why it popped it out?

Things fail, the system is pressurized. In the last year I have blown two plastic coolant elbows, things happen.

Tex, did you switch to aluminum, or not a fan?
10-31-2013
Yes, I have aluminum elbow now, haven't had any problems.
