My Mercury marquis 1994 has been over heating. I have a major leak, possibly a hose. I took a picture of the leaking car, could someone please where the leak come from.

I don’t see a picture? Pressure test the cooling system.

Sorry about the picture it didn’t upload. I went over to the part store & they told it wasn’t a hose but a freeze plug, & depend on it’s location, if would difficult to change out. I’m been looking for diagram on my car’s engine. Thankyou for any advice.

I found out how to replace them. I can’t seem to find a diagram of a engine showing the freeze plugs. any suggest would help, thank you in advance.

Not sure that I would take a parts store guy’s word for it but I’m fairly sure that is located underneath the intake manifold where the hose goes into the housing for the water pump. Don’t quote me on that though 😉

Ur right, I took to a mechanic for advice. It was leak behind the engine block, making think it was a freeze plug. But the mechanic saw the broken heat pump where u describe. I was told u had remove the intake manifold & starter to get to it. thanks again.:)
