Exclamation coolany leak

I got a coolant leak coming from it looks like the right side of the engine bay. When the car is off and cold it dosent seem to leak at all maybe a drip drip but once the engine is warm it flows out. Help please.

sh*t i already had my flange done once. I knew those guys had no clue what they were doin if it is it. I guess my car sits in a garage again. About how long should it take for that to be done.

I did mine in 10 hrs. Lots of hugging your engine. Is the leak at the front of back of the engine?

it seems to be in the middle to me. Someone told me it might be a freeze plug or coolant plug. Any idea?

ive got mine in the shop right now for the same problem. Near middle to back of the engine right side, near the temp sensor itself. I'll let you know whats up with it when I get it back. May not be the same as yours, but it could

man I am telling you it is your coolant flange. The ECT is in the coolant flange. I know some that paid $700 to have it repaired. I did mine for $65 flange and ECT sensor frpm the steelership. It took about 10 hours. Not hard to do just a lot to move out of the way and not easy to reach.
