Coolant Leak, back of Motor?

I have coolant leaking somewhere on the back side of the motor, it is pooling ontop of the tranny and leaking down on top of the starter.

Is it possible I have a crack in the intake, or passanger head? Are there any coolant lines or plugs back there that may be damaged or broke? Any things to look for?

I just cant win with this car

Thanks for any help.

May be the steam pipe between the heads that is visible in this pic.

I take it, the steam pipe is the metal one that connects to both heads?

I am not sure I am that lucky, but god I hope so. Quite a bit of coolant comes out when the motor is running, but none leaks when it is off and cooled down. I also have not seen any coolant in my oil which I suppose is a good sign. I'll have to check that out... getting a look at it will be the really hard part.

Its a pipe the connects to both heads and runs up to the radiator on the pass. side of the intake. More than likely that is your problem.
