Have the vehicle listed above leaks coolant every time I pour it in. I located the leak, and it is on the driver's side, between the exhaust manifold and engine mount. I'm assuming it is supposed to have a Freeze plug in it but don't know the size. I've been to 4 different auto parts stores and a Kia dealership but can't seem to find the right size. Can anybody help?

Were you able to see the photo I posted with the question for some reason it's not showing up for me. But I have one that is that size but no good. It's too small for the hole that I am talking about.
