    that looks like a O ring there, maybe you can just change it and pop it back in? looks easier then a freeze plug to get in or out.

    clean the freeze hole in the block up, use some high heat rtv or something around the O ring to help it seal up. re install it?

    yeah, a coolant flush and 3 cans of de greaser. your engines pretty damn dirty. looks like the valve cover gaskets need to be changed.

    Honestly, I look at the O Ring and it looks good. I will try to see if I can atleast replace that part. I think the tightening system for this just might have loosened up a little bit.

    My oil pan is leaking a little bit, engine mount has asploded, and I think I do need new valve cover gaskets, atleast the rear one. Thats all on my summer list It will get done.

    They make canned de greaser? Spray and clean?

    they sure do. gunk engine foamy bright, crc de greaser, < has very little smell after hosed off. then there the Green cleaners.

    dont clean it in your drive way, it will leave one hell of a mess when done under the car. do it in the street or over dirt.

    being as thick as it looks, you'll need to do it a few times, then use a stiff paint brush to break what wont come free on it own loose.

    i always get 2 cans, cause one can is never enough, but your looks like a 3 can job. stuff cheap here, about 5 a can, dont know what the mark up will be in the Alaska.
