Trying to find out where freeze plugs are located on my motor. I have a mad antifreeze leak somewhere around midlife driver's side of engine can't find the source I'm trying to find out where the Freeze plugs are located on my car listed above LS. Got a radiator put in the car and now it's pouring antifreeze out under the motor some place. But I cannot find the origin of the leak. I think it could be a freeze plug. I have to get it fixed to get to work tomorrow. It's an emergency!

Sure, yes you do have freeze plugs on either side of the engine block, here is a video of the job that needs to be done and the plug locations in the images below.
