Lower intake manifold gasket is my guess.

Coming from higher up on the motor? Not a freeze plug is it? RonJon is probably right though.

This is what I had to do. I could't find it with a mirror. Found a blown head gasket on the left head at the rear.

Another vote for LIM. Get the updated Felpro gaskets with the metal carrier and you shouldn't have to do it again.
