Please forgive me in advance for sounding stupid. I know nothing about trucks and just bought my first bronco today.
I have a 89 Bronco II xlt 4x4. It has a 2.9 engine.
I bought it from a guy whom informed me that the engine is leaking. He said he thought it was a freeze plug or a cracked head. The place he pointed out was leaking and the only spot I could see leaking did not appear to be a freeze plug or a cracked head.
I uploaded some pictures of the area. It seems to be some type of plug on the left side of the engine that fits into a hole. I am able to lift it out and put it back in. It is very loose, and it does not seem right. What is this and could this be the cause of the leak?
The truck is in rough shape and due to the leak there is no coolant in the truck.
