I have a 2.3 - 4 cylinder. engine. Two of my freeze plugs are leaking and I wanted to replace all of them, but did not know how many or where they were located. Can you help me?

Hello,

Yes you will have three along one side of the engine and one in the back, Also there is two in the cylinder head.

You will need to start by draining the coolant.

Please let us know what happens.
