I have a water leak at the left side rear of the motor. I can see the water coming from a small hole in the rear of the engine block above the starter. The hole appears to be about 3/4 inch in diameter. Is this a freeze plug port that may have blown out? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

If coolant is leaking out then its likely a rusty and corroded freeze plug. I've only replaced the larger 1 5/8" ones which isn't too bad of a job. Welcome to RF.
