it is leaking from a freeze plug hidden by the trans and mine is awd so it is a pain in the rear to take the trans out.

if you take the trans out why would you half ass it and use JBweld? why wouldn't you just REPLACE the frost plug?

i put new freeze plugs in when i did the rebuild on my engine. i had the motor on my stand and could not get the plug in straight so it is a little cocked to the side .

You can go the cheap way.just get a can of stop leak and use that. remember It's going to stop the water flow all over .(cooling system ) you might end up with overheating problems,water pump problems, heater core problems,and so on.If you get what I'm saying your better off doing the job right and replace the freeze out plug..

He asked for a cheap, easy fix. Removing freeze plugs is a pain, especially with the engine still in the car. I use JB weld on all new freeze plugs so I don't have this problem. No need to replace the plug if its JB'd unless there is a big gap. I'm sure he knows he can replace the plug but he doesn't want to have to do that, hence the post...

To OP: Theres no real way for you to fix it without removing the tranny. Just take a few hours on the weekend and do it. It's better than having the clutch soaked in coolant.

Haha. I completely understand. Just bite the bullet and do it. You'll be happy once its done. Get a friend to help, good music and some beers, that always makes it a little more bearable.

want to do it when i know everything runs right and has no other leaks is a fresh rebuild has taken me 7 months with all work done by my self .

i think i got the plug to stop leaking. used the cheap radiator stop leak.
