Just a guess........check where your heater hose connects into your engine. Its towards the back.....

I'm having trouble orienting to the picture. If that's the right hand shock I'm seeing, then I agreee with checking the heater hose connection. If it's the left hand shock, then I think you have an intake manifold leak at the rear of the engine. Plus, that doesn't look leak a small leak, it looks like a small stream, but maybe it's just the photo.

i took the picture from under the drivers side of the car so yes that is the right shock, reason why it looks like a small stream is because as soon as i took the pic it dropped but then it takes about 10 15 seconds for the next drip it comes out of that small hole and builds up a little drop about a inch right of the small hole and drips . i just got this so im still trying to figure the engine out, and where everything is, where is the heater hose at? do you check it from the top of the engine or get under it?

Heater core hoses enter the cabin above the motor, near the distributor.

You might want to use a mirror to check the back of the intake manifold for a leak. Coolant could be running down the back of the block and entering the flywheel cover, then coming out the hole in the flywheel cover.

Exactly what I was going to say, hence my question previously!!!
