So to my dismay I came out to the truck to find a small puddle of coolant on the ground... with research and the most possible place of the said leak, I think it may be the dreaded welsh caps/ freeze plugs that are leaking. I see the coolant leaking at the back of the engine and the strong sweet smell of coolant is that of it most likely dripping on the downpipe.

Enclosed are a few crappy cell pics but I guess my main question is can I get by the rest of winter or am I doomed to a morning of a gallon of coolant on the ground one fateful morning? I sadly don`t have a garage where I live so replacing the plugs is semi out of the question....

My luck is its going to be either the head freeze plug or the motor freeze plug. There in lies the dilemma; take it to a local shop, have them do the rear mystery plug and the other 5 on the intake side, or man up with a buddy at his garage and dive into a project?

 

Doomed. It will get worse.

 

lol awesome. I love doom

 

All five freeze plugs simultaneously popped out and I ended up doing a 360 on the road. Who knew coolant was slippery

 

Damn dude. I have seen that on the drag strip. Wonder why you are building enough pressure to do that. Glad you are OK.
