so i bought another celica today for fairly cheap, but it is leaking coolant from one of the 3 ring type things that are on block.. what could cause that? and am i better of just "trashing" that engine?
thanks smile.gif

theyre called freeze plugs, easy to replace if you know what you're doing but not a job for an amateur.

a headgasket is more likely. both arent too bad to do. but then again ive done a few so far. just make sure you have a Chiltons or something like it when you are doing the work.

every plug, and all the upper gaskets
then seafoamed the sht out of it.
