Well THAT would have been a good point to consult us. If the freeze plugs are leaking, that certainly doesn't require a whole new manifold if the manifold itself is intact. If the drain plug was leaking and/or the freeze plugs because the manifold was
cracked, that can indicate the engine was allowed to freeze at some point and you may have one or more cracks in the block as well. Which is also why you need to pressure test the block. The symptoms seem similar to what I had with an A4 that had leaks into the cylinders.
