Default Coolant Leak from rear of the motor??

Hey all, ok ive had a leak for a while, and i noticed dripps from the bottom hose by the waterpump. But after a better look i notice that theres mist of coolant sprayng all over that area. So i looked a little more and niticed theres dripps commin from the rear of the motor as well. SO now its either 2 things.

1. The freezer plugs

2. a bypass hose Behind the water pump.

any ideas?

it could be the freeze plugs, have you been up north lately? Freeze plugs are so if the coolant in your car freezes those pop out so you dont crack your block

my car use to do that too. check your intake manifold gasket. my coolant use to drip out of it then it would over heat. could be wrong but u never know.

i put the car on stands tday and looked under it, it appears that there is a bypass hose that goes over the oil filter and it drops from there onto a hose that comes out of the oil filter and from there it drips on the axel and thats why it sprays it all over the engine.

What hose woudl that b?
