fREEZE PLUG LEAK?

got some coolant leakage coming from the small panel at the bell housing of the Tranny... I assume that there is one or more plugs behind the tranny on the block? The head plug is not leaking.. Any one have a idea on the costs to fix? Did not leak after I had the heater plugged in all night...took it off and it leaked about a 1/2 cup the next night.

thanks

Ditto! For me it would have been a hole in the block or something weird.

That's a common problem on 06's.
