So I've been leaking coolant for about two weeks now I keep filling up and going on because I was pretty sure it was my petcock, I finally replace that and did an oil change today and did the normal start up until operating temp and watch for leaks and stuff and didn't see any oil but what I did see disturbed me...

Dripping from the driver side of my transmission bell housing was the bright green fluid I had just put in the radiator from replacing the petcock. Now I'm assuming I probably have a freeze plug leaking but does anyone else have any other suggestions? My coolant didn't have any oil in it, and my oil didn't have any coolant in it so I think my headgasket and block are ok but I don't know what else it could be. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

This may be a stupid question but what is the method of fixing this can the lines be replaced? Or does the head need to be replaced?

theyre just a real pain in the dick to get to.
i luckily found out mine were seeping a little bit when i had the trans out, so it was no big deal at all.

Maybe it's just me but I've checked everywhere for these and can't find them what are they called???? And has anyone done this with the motor in the car and how hard is it?

Yeah... ka =/= coolant lines behind the head. If it's an sr the coolant line to the t25 is more than likely the culprit.
