I have coolant spewing out of the rear of the motor. I can't really tell where it is coming from but if it is coming from the freeze plugs then I wouldn't be able to see it anyway. Coolant is dripping from between the tranny and motor, the cover on the lower part.
I am worried about replacement cost. I know can't do it myself because of time, place and tools. If it was my Jeep instead of my 4x4 suburban then I would be down for it.
What am I in for? I have a trusted mechanic.
 
First 100% verify where the leak is coming from. It could be other places like the heater hose inlet, intake, etc....Rent a pressure tester if possible. When you figure out the exact problem, then we can go from there....
 
I would make 100% sure its not leaking from the rear on the intake manifold before I start knocking freeze plugs out.
