These small metal discs cover holes in the engine block and can corrode or simply fall out over time, especially on older engines. You can't drive your car like this, as it will quickly overheat. You'll need to clean the bore thoroughly, get a new metal freeze plug of the correct size (brass is often preferred for corrosion resistance), and install it securely with a hammer and a suitable driver. Using a thin layer of sealant can help ensure a leak-free fit. Once installed, refill your cooling system with a proper 50/50 coolant mix and check for leaks login on Prepaidcardstatus

Was going through checking everything for next weekends british field days in Sussex and notice low fluid in the radiator. Put in some water and out the water went.
other freeze plugs look like this

or
Convex Core Freeze Plug, 848, 948, 998, 1098cc A-s
