Just took the motor out of my 2002 Ford focus and put it into a 2000 ford body after wrecking my car. Got everything hooked back up and it starts and runs but there is antifreeze coming directly out of the manifold leading to the exhaust. Never had a problem with motor b4 accident. I need help as I'm at wits end and am in danger of losing job if I don't retain my transportation quickly. Please Help!!!!
