Corrosion is mine enemy!

April 12th, 2003 jra

Just when things were moving along, Ms. Rust and Mr. Corrosion came along
with their evil ways. I’ve got a pinhole leak in one of the freeze plugs
in the engine. When the water pump is off, there’s a small dribble of
coolant out the side. When the pump kicks on, tho, a stream shoots out
the engine a good 5 feet. Thankfully, the plug is right under the manifolds
at the top of the block..

This will be fun to remove. At least I can get to it, unlike the other ones.
Maybe a pry bar, or dremel’ing a hole through to use a screwdriver to
pry with.
