Hey, I figured out why the stbd, rear engine mount and surrounding area is rusty. . .it isn't the water pump like I thought, it's the rear block plug drain.
Or at least I hope it is, else the block has a hole in it
The area is kinda rusty, but it looks like a round cast in boss with a dimple in it. . .under the back end of the water jacket cover.
I'm assuming that someone either tried to remove it and it sheared off and started leaking, or it has always leaked and just rotted away?
Anyways, what is the best way to fix this and what is the plug made out of?
Thanks!
