Thanks, That looks to be the area where its leaking. I just had my coolant replaced along with some other service and I think he may not of got it tight enough.

Block Drain Plug
It's a 17MM ATF plug, get the aluminum crush washer before you fool with it, this is a very common problem ~ now you know one more incompetent and dishonest 'mechanic' who's not worthy of checking your oil

Yet Another Reality Check
He tried and made a mistake, he prolly didn't even know there's a seal ring, go buy two new seal rings and deliver to him and ask that he make it right .
Don't expect him to do it whilst you watch ~ I'm the only Mechanic I know who'll work on hot engines . As long as it gets fixed you're good to go ~ pick your battles carefully, this is one you won't win .

Actually he is from germany and went to the school there for Mercedes and Audi, I met his dad one day and he used to have a shop in Austria years ago and his son worked there. It's funny you mention the stealing of the washer because my A/C didnt work after either and all of my R12 was gone and when I went to recharge it My high pressure side started leaking. The other work he did for me that day was replacing the motor mounts. Bet he disrupted my A/C line while doing the mounts. Putz

Cooling System Basics
The answer remains the same : NO SEALANTS, EVER ! .
Maybe some gasket shellac on a thermostat housing but so far I've never needed any and I've worked on some horribly corroded OM616/617 engines . I've pulled long gooey strings of RTV and other sealants out of too many cooling systems to ever trust them in there .
