I stupidly left the B2 outside with water in cooling system...no antifreeze. Some low temps, as low as 17 degrees overnight. It still runs but now leaks coolant from a circular hole below the passenger side exhaust manifold. The hole is original in the block, but the leak is new. Could this be a freeze plug leak? Dunno but worried that I have trashed the block.

Sounds like a freeze plug

It was actually 2 freeze plugs. I put them back, and it runs. Now, the radiator leaks!
