Hello from Turkey, Questions Questions

Hi, I am from turkey. I am buying a 97 omega 2.5 V6 petrol 4sp auto(paper work not done yet). It is crashed before and didn't fixed properly, sits for almost two years. But I got it verrryyy cheap for my country standards. I have another high mpg diesel city car work like a clock. My long term plan with this car is turn it into a highway cruiser. But I have to fix it first.
So my question is when I put water to the coolant filler it leaks around driver side up high somewhere between engine and transmission. Leaks almost all water. I read something like this in this forum but it was small steady leak when engine runs. Mine is leaks everything when I put it. My first idea was faulty freeze plug or cracked hose. Dont sure for anything yet.
I put a new battery. Engine starts right off(no coolant) its smokes. I don't know the oil situation they lost dipstick and plugged with something. Car moves slowly so transmission fluid must be low. Runs for 2 minutes and I shut the engine myself. Put it on a tow truck, came home. I didn't do anything yet. I am waiting for paper work.
while I am waiting. Any ideas? Recomendations about the problem? How many freeze plug X25XE has? and where they are?

Hello and welcome to the Forum.
It does sound like a core plug has popped out; I had similar symptoms on my old Carlton, as soon as I added water, it came right back out of the hole where the core plug used to be! They are cheap and easy to replace, provided you can gain access to where they are.
Someone else is sure to be along soon with more details.....
Whereabouts in Turkey are you? My daughter has a house in Altinkum.
Ron.
