coolant leak under front of engine. I've checked all hodes for leaks, chececked thrmostat to see if it need to be replaceb. Now the car has starte whisling when I tiurn the car off. I've had to add water to to radiator. It has started to get hot but not overheated yet. I pretty sure its a freeze plug . Do I have to pull the engine to replace the frezee plug, I dont have have the crane nor do I know where thw plugs are located.

pressure check coolant system to find leak because it could be something other than freeze plug. Normally unless it' s freeze plug between trans an dengine you can replace them without pulling engine.
