Freeze plugs are supposed to protect the engine block if the water in the engine freezes -- the expanded water is supposed to push out the freeze plug, although that doesn't always happen. Freeze plugs are made of thin steel compared to the engine block, and even with an anti-freeze mixture the plugs can rust out and require replacement.

do you mean spark plugs? if so and youre trying to find new ones, go to an auto store and ask for spark plugs and tell them the make model and year of your car. if youre trying to replace them yourself, follow the wires to the side of the engine, unplug them from the plug, and use a socket wrench (usually 5/8 inch) to unscrew them, then get the new plugs, and tighten them carefully as they are not hard at all to break.

You might have either a blown head gasket or a crack in your engine block on that side of the motor. If you dont have any leaks from hoses, fittings or the water pump itself then mostly likely it is the head gasket, another way to confirm and make sure is to do an oil change, if there is chunky build up or sludge like discolorations due to coolant or water leaking into your oil then its the head gasket, and you'll need to definitely have it replaced or look into purchasing another vehicle. If theres no problems with your oil then its a leak from somewhere else. Possibley a heater hose or coolant line.
