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?

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.
