:) Got a anti freeze leak. Strange, it leaks back by the bell housing. All my hoses are good. Any suggestionswould be helpful. What's my problem and how do I fix it.

Thanks!

Or the heater core hoses or a full under plenum leak.

The one that came from the UK [for guides and R&R had hoses slipped over hoses. They couldn't get the correct ones in England so they made splints and sleaves. A nightmare of non Nissan hoses.......but they worked for a while.

i'd go with Q45tech. There is about 7 hoses under the plenum. A leak builds up a litte pond down there and flows out at the back of the engine down across the bell.

Look down between the plenum and head (RH / passenger side in USA) and see if there is puddle down in the V made by the block.

For what it's worth:

You can see where the core plugs are on the rear of the block. Looks like 4 press and 1 threaded.

Edit: Actually, it's 3 press, and 2 threaded. The 3 smaller plugs are oil I think, and the 2 larger ones coolant.
