By new I mean new to me owning it and I was aware of the leak prior to buying. Was told its a freeze plug in the engine. To pull the trans back, use dry ice to freeze the bad plug, hit it out and remove it. Lol am I on point?

 

Being told it is a freeze plug and actually finding what is leaking are 2 different things.
Get dirty and find the exact location or you are just doing all that work for nothing.

By the way I am 6 foot six and type with my toes.

 

I'll get on it and report back. Hey do your toes ever cramp up?

 

Not that often, but it took practice.

By the bye... if you're removing a freeze plug (particularly if you're removing it using dry ice and a hammer) just go ahead and take the engine apart first, then take the housing to a machine shop to verify you didn't stress-crack the aluminum. This isn't your typical cast-iron block.
