Leeann & Kyle,
Thanks for your input!!!
Since there are no freeze plugs, any idea where this leak might be coming from?

I would have to say it is likely still an intake manifold leak. You can put some dye in the system and use a black light to locate the leak.

I'd put my money on an intake leak, too.

Hey guys, I did the dye thing, and it is leaking from some sort of plug (looks like the freeze plugs on the side of the block, can't tell if it is the same size) at the back of the block, forward of the flywheel. The blacklight got me to the area behind the flywheel, then I got the flywheel positioned with one of the big holes situated so I could get a mirror up in there and could actually see the coolent leaking out of a rusty spot on the plug (thank god for face shields!).
I guess my next move is to pull the tranny?
Any idea how long this might take?
Thanks
