2004 Jeep Cherokee, I have radiator fluid dripping off a bolt at bottom of flywheel cover.?

It's coming from the top of the flywheel where it meets the back of the engine. What could be leaking? Is there a freeze plug at the very back of the engine??????????

    At back of the engine are several places you could have a cooland leak. You have heater hose. And you have the heater core. Which has a drain hole. If it come from there. You need to change the heater core. The leak could a hose any where on the top of the engine. It could be a frezze plug. Some engine have two on the back. Other's do not. Happy hunting. A short cut. Get engine how. See if you see steam coming up. The leak will be close by.

    If you have a straight 6 engine in the jeep then it's coming from the freeze plug in the back of the head.
