There is an engine plug that fits in a water jacket on the back of the engine. If the plug is out or damaged it could cause the water to leak out of the back of the engine. You can feel around for a hole when the engine is cool or look for the leak while the radiator is full and the engine is running. Be careful the engine and water will be hot. The plug can be purchased at your local auto parts store for about 5 bucks.

Why does your 1998 Mazda 626 drain antifreeze every time you shut it off?

Chances are you have a leak somewhere in your radiator or a connecting hose. While your engine is on, it sucks coolant in and once turned off, pressure pushes the coolant back to the radiator.


How does the engine coolant does this work?

When the engine heats up to a certain temperature, the thermostat opens up and lets the coolant flow through the engine. Heat from the engine is absorbed by the coolant, which then cycles back to the radiator. Heat from the coolant is exchanged to the air which flows through the radiator fins, thus causing the coolant to rapidly cool down.
