Frost plugs
Hi,
My girlfriend has a 94 with the 3.4L engine. There is some coolant dripping by the drivers side front wheel. I am thinking maybe the frost plug at the back of the block is seeping. How many and where are the frost plugs on this engine?

Not sure on how many freeze plugs, but some one who has rebuilt this engine like Socom may be able to chime in and let you know.
I would look a little harder around the engine to see if you are leaking some where else. The timing cover is notorious for leaking on this engine especally right after replacing the water pump.

yea i haven't seen a car with a bad "freeze plug" that was built in the last 20 years. I usually only see em fail on older cars but then again i live in cali. I believe there are are 2 on each head

your best bet is to clean under there as best as you can especially in the suspect areas. drive around the block a couple of times make sure its completely warmed up, park it and try to follow where it is running from. coolant is not hard to see.

I will jack it up and have a look around.
I was asking because she had it in a shop 10 years ago, and they claimed they had to pull the tranny to get at a frost plug that had blown out on her.
I myself have never heard of frost plugs being at the back of a block.
