i have a ford 1989 country esquire Ltx wagon with 5.0 engine its my first car it overheats and leaks water so its gotta be the freeze plug but i cant find them ive checked the side of the block but nothin
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!?!!!!!?!
 
you have several. they are on the front and back of the block and on the sides. they are small round inverted cups. it is rare for one to leak so I would check your water pump or intake gasket. It's not impossible for them to leak, but since they are pressed in then it makes it very unlikely.
 
There's more than one.I'd bet on a hose or water pump before a freeze out plug. Take it to a shop and get it pressure tested It'll save you money in the long run
