so i drove my S14 home, gave it some WOT. and it started smelling like coolant. looked, and its coming from about this area. (pic) im afraid its the freeze plug. but are there any coolant lines going around that area? like to the heater core? i cant see right now, cause the starter is in the way. i'll start taking it apart tommorow.

Seriously dude, all your extra coolant lines run on that side of the car! In front you have your water pump return, you have ones that run to your intake manifold, to your heater core, you have ones that run from the side of the block in the big red area circled... You'll just have to check them one by one.

turned out to be the line that goes from the rear of the block to the heater core. took me 8 hours to get to it and fix it.
