Core plugs are in the block, not sure where on your model.
If you can leave the van for a couple of days then wait for any spills to dry and then slowly and carefully refill the system and see where the leak
comes from.

More than likely popped a core plug, they are situated in the block they may be hard to find, I would have thought you may have a couple. Fill it up
and try and see where it's flowing from.

IMHO wherever is the hardest most inaccessible point on the block, thats where they are
Probably underneath/behind the manifold

Even behind the flywheel  Sorry to cheer you up but they are located in some very awkward places sometimes.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
