Since you provided no motor size I will generalize.

There are about 15 give or take.

What were you told is leaking

Vans been parked for like 3 years the shifter broke. I put a shifter in the floor and it started up and leaked when I put water in it. I noticed a couple of freeze plugs were missing I got them back in but it was so hard to fit them in all the way. There hard to reach. I live up in the mountains will they be alright till I get it to a shop thats 10 miles away?

Are you sure the block is not cracked around the freeze plug area?
