Freeze plugs are located on the side of the engin block. 3 on each side. Could also be a head gasket witch would require motor taking apart.
water pump dont drive it to far
K well i guess its turnin up not to be either the freeze plug or water pump ... they are telling me its my intake manifold gasket and a heater hose.. im hoping thats all it is im bought the parts and having it replaced just hopin it doesnt turn up to be something more ..
thanks Im sure hoping it turns out not to be that they are tellin me its my intake mainfold gasket and a heater hose ... i had asked bout it maybe being a head gasket but they are tellin me that it would be leakin oil and not antifreeze.. fingers crossed they dont tell me something different...

One of the heater core hoses attaches to a steel tube (behind the head on the left). The tube routes under the intake manifold and attaches to the back of the water pump. The tube develops pinholes, usually at the bracket on the back of the cylinder head. Fluid drains between the engine and the transmission. The tube is about 30.$ at the dealer, and takes about 4 hours to replace. ....I just did my 92 executive town car.
If it is the tube I have a spare one I can sell you for $15 plus shipping. (New, still has the parts sticker on it).
have a 2000 lincoln executive edition an just started running hot they say it could be crack intake how would u know?
Look at the left front corner of the intake, standing in front of the car with the hood up it will be leaking where the coolant sensor threads info the intake. Opasite side of the thermostat housing where the upper radiator hose goes into the intake. I just replaced the intake on my 2000 Town car with the updated dorman kit last weekend have put maybe 150 miles on it not a job for someone without mechanical knowledge. I was a certified GM tech owned 2 auto repair businesses, it's a pretty big job.
