Default freeze plug?

Should there be one here? The location is the front of the passengers side head. Long story but it ended up with coolant coming out of there and it looked a little off.

am I seeing a gaping hole in the cyl. head or is the plug still there and your asking about a leak?

you lost 2/3's of more of your coolant, but no way you could miss that.

that is an automatic ticket to a flatbed

Looks like new cyl. head bolts, heads recently ported?
