They are all around the engine, 2 or 3 on each side (front wheel drive cars like yours the engine is sitting sideways) and sometimes one on the end but usually have to take the transmission off to access that one, they are just silver (if not rusted up) plugs that get tapped into the engine, to get them out just tap on one edge until it flips sideways and grab it with pliers or get screwdriver behind it. try not to let it fall inside the engine. Generally they are called frost plugs and they are to protect your engine from cracking in case water freezes inside of it but if you have good strong anti-freeze (glycol) in your rad that shouldnt' be an issue but worse than the frost plug popping out is cracking the radiator due to insufficient strength of your anti-freeze.\
A lot of cars now may have a block heater and this is inserted into a frost plug once removed and a bolt tightened, this is the weakest link usually and may leak, sometimes can be tightened but a block heater could be where your issue lies.

SOURCE: where is the block heater and freeze plug located on a 2004 sunfire

An 04 Sunfire should not have a block heater, but the freeze plugs are located in the block. If you are leaking water just trace the leak back to the freeze plug.

2004 Sunfire block heater

The element does sit in the coolant. It will be immersed in the engine's water jacket. The block heater is mounted in a freeze plug location.

Where is the block heater located on the 2.2L engine?

A block heater is an add on - so it depends on the kind you have. If there is an electric plug hanging out - follow it to where it meets the engine. A common type is installed into the block in one of the freeze plug ports. There are other types that do a similar job. If there is no electric plug hanging near the grill there is a good chance you don't hae one.

How to change spark plugs in a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire GT

Dear Angel Divine, First determine whether you have a 4cyl. or V6 engine, then look at the engine bank/banks for the exhaust manifold and then the intake manifold, The plugs will be either be between the 2 manifolds(center of cylinder head) or between the exhaust manifold tubes. Call me back if you still have trouble. quicbric(volvo man)
