Default Update with picture re:"need some help"

I drop the sub-frame to get to the engine mount bracket, the floor jack failed and whole engine almost drop to the ground, long story short there was coolant leak out every where from the back engine or some where near there. I check the coolant tank it still got coolant in there, so where is this coolant coming from ? and what did I really break ? I am at the point where I just want to pull out the engine completely.

another problems I had is the transmission bolt for the bracket won't go in, the hole and thread is mess up, what is a best way to fix this? any help is greatly appreciate

update: I just get a better view today and took a picture, how hard is it it replace ?

Default there is a main coolant line thats hard to see on top of the tranny bell house'n

you need to retap the threads with a tap kit or make sure the bolt threads "ont he bolt" are not messed up and try and thread the bolt back into the frame/chassis,, in and back out with some wd40 or so on it

Default On the back of the engine there are two coolant lines. Tough to see but I would guess...

that it may be one of those two- If I remember correctly those two go up to the heater core. They have connections similar to those on the radiator on the engine (slip plastic on with the wire keeper) side and use hose clamps behind the false firewall.

It's been a while since I have had the engine out so I could be wrong on where they go and there may be others that I am forgetting too.

Good luck man-
