Depends on where its coming from on the back of the engine. There are the heater hoses back there on the passenger side fire wall.
There is the coolant passages in the rear of the lower intake that can leak.
There are freeze plugs in the back of the block inside the bell housing behind the flywheel.
You need to locate the exact spot it is coming from. You can get a mirror that is on a long telescoping handle that is used to look in hard to see places.
Either way your not screwed all can be fixed, short of a cracked block ( HIGHLY unlikely )

I found it. I just started at the top and worked my way down with a neighbor. Total nightmare. It was the hose connected to the intake manifold. The worst part about it was getting a 30 year old clamp off.
