I hate to admit it, but I still haven't gotten around to changing those freeze plugs...
A great trick for the road is cayenne pepper, I always carry it on a trip.
Once a fan in a radiator along an interstate, folded over tubes, cayenne,
no leak for years,,no joke. leaking plugs on a Chrysler on back of block,
next to trans, stupid place for a casting plug,, cayenne pepper, no leak.
Pencil sized hole in center tube on radiator, can't reach it, cayenne, no leak, still there after 4 years, drive to Tucson and beyond, no problem.
It will flush out without clogging things up.
