Unhappy 3.4L V6 Leaking antifreeze from the back????

As quick as I pour it in is as quick as it comes out. I cannot tell exactly where it is coming from, I do know it is being funneled through the torque converter cover. I have bypassed the heater, to rule that out. The thermostat did go bad I have replaced that. I do not have white smoke in my exaust, no oil mixing. Car seems other than loosing water and getting hot, seems fine. I am thinking possible the freeze plug. How hard are they to install?

Gonna have to drop the tranny. Sucks to have to do so much work for a simple fix.

Might be a good idea to get it on ramps or jack stands and see if maybe its a side freeze plug. still not much room to get in there and change it but maybe you wont have to drop the trans.

check the adjustment on the shift cable and make sure nothing is broke or unhooked
