Leaking Freeze Plug
I was replacing my waterpump today , and dropped a wrench. I bent down to pick it up and noticed water dropping from underneath my car. So i go under to investagate and i trace it to a freeze plug on my drivers side by the oil pan. Is this bad that it is leaking? How much to fix? Can i replace it myslef?

Too remove it you just knock on the bottom of it with a screw driver and a hammer till it turns sideways then grab hold of it with a pair of pliers and pull it out.

New ones are a bit easier to put in. You get a socket that fits snuggly inside the edges, place it where you want it to go and gently tap it into place. Again not too hard too fast or you risk knocking it into the block.
