Okay what should i do

Ok well i went to go see and get a estimate on getting my old passenger side floor cut out and replaced, when i noticed this

^^^^^you have to click on it

What should i do, it never ever leaked before and i dont know how it started
i wanted to replace the engine(this one runs good its a 305), but not to soon, and i dont want to polish up a lemon, should i fix this one or should i just get a 350 maybe off of Craigs or look for a ls1

Its just a freeze plug leaking, you can replace it with a metal one or a rubber one till you are ready to get a 350 or LS.

Leaky freeze plugs happen. They aren't hard to replace.

No, you don't have to pull the engine, you'll most likely have to pull your headers.
