The mechanic just informed me my freeze plug behind my timing belt sprung a leak which is probably the reason for the milky oil, as well as the appearance of coolant pouring down & around the water pump, which led me to believe the water pump was leaking. Was a bit strange since the water pump has just 20K miles on it. I wish it was a freeze plug behind the exhaust manifold, which I just had off last week.

Over use of sealant is not a good thing. Clean up the overage. Oil pans are the worst place to over apply sealant. It can drop into the Oil Pan and work it's way into the oil pump and journals. Causing a blockage. The resulting oil starvation WILL DESTROY the Engine.

Do I do it before or after machining. Or does it matter?

I would do it after in case it needs flushed.

Thanks Karen. I try to call things that we do videos on by the common name people use. In the video I call it by the different names people use (expansion plugs, freeze plugs etc...)

The engine was already out of the truck. Didn't seem to make sense to install the engine then change them. But you can check out my other video where I do it with engine in.
