Ok I have been getting over an issue with the hoses on the car. I just replaced a radiator hose and noticed that the new one has been rubbing on the ac compressor. Anyhow it snagged a hole in the new hole and I had to tape up the hole to get the car home.Anyhow I filled the radiator up with water and of course a deep freeze came that night and froze up my motor. I went to crank the car and I noticed it wasnt running right. I noticed that all the water was seeping out as fast as I pour it in. I was informed it could be a freeze plug. My question is how much of a hassle would it be to put the freeze plug back in so I can drive the car.... I dont have any cash till next week but I have to work... Please help me out....

freeze plugs are cheap and very easy to replace, they are just little circular disks that are pressed into a hole left behind from the sand casting in the factory.
