P38 4.6hse water leak back of head???

billyloadsamud · Mar 4, 2009

Anyone know if this engine has core plugs or pipe etc in the back of head near bulkhead???
It pours water out as quickly as you fill it up, and appears to be from this area, the car had no A/freeze in it and has been stood for 3months or so so could have popped one out

done that, pouring out, will get mirror and torch and have a look, customer may sell cheap(i don,t want it) will post if so
i think it's head gasket or head ??

Good chance it's the core plug-doubt if even a missing head gasket would give a leak as bad as you say. Rear core plug is either engine or gearbox out job.
