I had a leak through the freeze plug,which is under the intake manifold. I bought a rubber one,that comes with the nut in a middle.So i put that one in and after couple days it started to leak again.... My question is: If ill put the metal (OEM) in there,will it stop the leak?? Is there any possibilities,that the hole,where the freeze plug goes can wear out???
 
I would replace that with a metal freeze plug, those expanding rubber plugs are more of a temporary plug.
 
I use anaerobic sealant when I do them.


LOCTITE® 510
510 Gasket Eliminator is a single component, medium strength, anaerobic sealant with good heat resistance. The product cures at ambient temperature when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces

It does not have to be Loctite brand should be able get it at any auto parts store.
 
make shure it goes in even. i have one that was not even and i sealed it with hi temp rtv and it leaked. i had to pull the trans to fix it it was leaking on my clutch. also it was a pain in the to get it out. good luck.
