Q: leaks water
I have a 1995 ford f-150. It was over heating and the guy said i needed a new thermostat so i put one on then drove it around a couple hours later i pulled in to the gas station and there was a big amount of water leaking on the passenger side by the motor mount my thermostat and water pump is fine and i think all the frezze plug are there and now it leaks when the engine is warm. Can the frezze plug rust holes in them or crack block? What you guys think?
