well the oil filter should be located on the rear and to the side of the engine, unless it has an oil cooler then it could possibly be somewhere near the front bumper
Usually you can get rubber freeze plugs and if the freeze plug that is in the very back is leaking you will see the water coming from between the bellhousing and block - just be sure it isn't leaking above that and just looks like it is coming from the freeze plug between the block and tranny.
I would for sure check with a local mechanic first and let them see if it is just a heater hose or something above it. Usually a freeze plug goes for life.
Thanks for choosing Fix Ya
change the crankshaft sensor. it's located in the cylinder block, where the alternator is, above the oil filter. make sure the car is cool & raise the car on jackstands. go under the car & find the oil filter & right above it is the crankshaft sensor. take it out from the cylinder block & pull out the red stop clip. after that, pull out the sensor from the wire clip & install the new sensor. installation is reverse of removal. now your car shouldn't stop.
to verify the compression in every cylinder for which if you have no compression it does not start you. If you have compression, spark, gasoline. it must start
The freeze plug you replaced was due to rust or was it pushed out by freezing temperature? These plugs are not designed to protect the engine block from cracking during freezing temperatures, they are there to remove the sand from the block after casting it. I would drain your system completely and flush out the radiator thouroughly and fill with plain water, then run the engine and see if oil gets in the water, if it does and the plug was out due to freeze, then your block is probably cracked, although you could just have a head gasket leak. Oil pressure (40psi) is higher then water pressure (17psi), so getting oil in the water is always more prominent than the other way around. Flush out the system and let me know if oil returns to the water, hope this helps
i would try to flush the cooling system completely if I had to guess someone put stop leak in it when the freeze plug started leaking also check the oil to make sure there is no water in the oil
It is a plu located directly above your filter on the oil filter adapter housing.. its about 3 inches long with wires plugged into it.. takes a special little socket to remove it...10 dollars at auto stores for the socket...
