That antifreeze leak.. pics/video

[GregElliott]

I finally got around to getting some pics of the leak I mentioned the other day.. I started the car up and let it run for about 15-20 minutes... revved it up real nice.. then turned it off... it was leaking pretty good... then I let the car sit for about 10 minutes and took these pictures and this video.
The leak looks to be coming out of the transmission from a sorta 'weep hole'-looking place..and between the transmission and the engine block? I'm not too familiar with how everything is put together down there.

In the pictures and video the transmission is on the left and the engine and crossmember are on the right.. the shots are taken laying on my back with my feet out in front of the car and my head toward the firewall. Watch the video because I determined a second leak after I took the pictures.

tell me what those holes are and why it is leaking there.

It looks like coolant runs down between the engine block and tranny in the gap between the flexplate cover and engine block.
On my car the motor oil from the distributor housing used to run down to this boss and drop on the groundmaking impression of rear main seal leak.
Possible source can be the gasket between the head and upper radiator hose outlet;
I do not remeber but there should be a freeze plug on the end wallof cylinder block , right above the tranny;
the heater hose can leak; the coolant may collect on the differntial housing top top near speedometer cable to tranny connection and then leak down.

well, it looks like it's definitely coming out of those two holes on the bottom, that's why in the video I wiped them off so you could see it running out of the holes... do you think the block is cracked?
The heater hoses and outlet don't appear to be leaking.

Just watched the video againit comes from the "firewall" side of engine; I would check again all smallcoolat hose connectors under throttle body. There is also could be freeze plug above rear main seal
