Core plug or split block. I'd go for the former unless the gearbox has been off. (if there is a core plug in there of course!)

is there a core plug on the side?

 

[marty61]

Could be a corroded core plug due to lack of antifreeze or one pushed out due to freezing.

 

[5abr3]

yes next to the flywheel there is one, not sure of any others or what fluid is behind the plug mind

so there are core plugs on the side. so there are core plugs on all four sides of the block?

 

[col7104]

Yes, one large core plug on each end of the block and an array of smaller ones across the front and rear sides. Oh, and the little dinky one next to the large one on the off-side side.

well in that case it is definetly a core plug water comes out way to fast to be anything else.
thanx for that. ill pass on the bad news
