so would that be the last plug? total of 8?

 

I *think* there is just 1 in there ..

 

Anyone else?

 

Ok Googled it there are 2 in the back of the block , 1 in the back of the head, then the rest on the side of the block. If it was me i would pull the inspection cover on the teansmission and see If there are sighns of antifreeze in there.

 

I had what seems to be the same problem... I had a fairly constant drip/flow of antifreeze/coolant. I had originally thought it was the lower radiator hose that just wasnt seated right or cracked. Upon changing that and further diagnoses i found that i had a bad water pump. I had to change the waterpump, gasket, and thermostat. After the change... its all fixed! Hope this helps you out. It made my day better!

 

i wish it was as easy as that! but the leak is coming from the rear of the motor not the front

 

Ahh sorry man. Wish i could help

 

check the temp sensor on the back of the head(drivers side) right next to the valve cover. its a stupid little sensor that can break easily. if not that then either head gasket or its freeze plug under the bell housing. if its a pre 4.0 HO cherokee probably head gasket if its newer its less likely.

 

so got under the heep while it was running warm temp gauge all the way to the right. i MIGHT have found the leaky are but not too sure. it looks like right between the bottom of the motor and the oil pan?

 

Can u get a pic? U have my curiosity peaked. Front of motor, rear , middle? U said the motor was running? Could the fan be blowing it from the Front? Is there any way u can get ahold of a radiator pressure tester? U may be able to pressure the system and find exactly where the leak is that way... Just don't overpressure it and blow a radiator seam or the heater core.

 

Kinda hard to tell. But where i believe to think its between the bolts you see.

 

btw thats the down pipe you see on your left..

 

Sorry man, that doesn't sound good no matter how you look at it. That inspection cover is just a few bolts, pretty easy to have a look. To rule the (unlikely) chance it being the head gasket leaking down there I wonder if you couldn't get a dry rag down there behind the head'n see if it comes up wet. Or maybe a mirror on a stick. (please don't let a rag light on the hot manifold or the pipe)
The freeze plug under the flywheel on my 66 F-250 was only 57 cents.

 

what inspection cover? pics?

 

When u are under the jeep look to the rear of the motor on the transmission there is a thin metal plate , that is the inspection cover. Is there any sighns of wetness there Its not a sealed plate .. the inspection cover is the part with the bolts holding it on (dont pay attention to the red circle i got the pic from google images)
