I just replace the radiator as it was definitely leaking from the top tank gasket. whe i went to refill it with coolant, I first started filling the engine through the top hose. I then noticed that coolant was rapidly leaking from the rear of the engine. I could not see where it was coming from. Any ideas?
SOURCE: Coolant still leaking from my 1996 Isuzu Rodeo.
There is a plastic heater pipe junction behind the inlet manifold against the fire wall that could be brittle and leaking.

It is not the freeze plug but the o-ring gasket at the back of the 23 radiator lines back there, there are 2 that you have to replace, Easy fix, but a nightmare to get to. The o-rings are nothing special, reg off the shelf. It wold be a good idea to take fotos before you start so you can see where everything was when you started, then it should all go back. the intake, dist coils, all the pipes, have to be moved out of the way. You get to clean up that mess back there while you are at it, Good luck.
CAUTION
If the radiator is filled to the top with coolant and the engine is run without the radiator cap in place, the coolant will expand and spill over as the engine warms up.
