My 96' ford f150 5.0 motor has been sitting for about a year today i started with no problems temp started to rise fast shut it off and check my coolant level way low. So i add water and then bang water starts pouring out at the base of the motor it clear water as if a hose was loose its not the rear freeze plug its behind the motor mount on the Driver side about 6 inchs toward the front away from the rear plug. I also check my oil it looks fine. Is that were the other freeze plug is Or is my motor gone?Any ideas guys i would like to drive the truck again.
