Exclamation Water leak! Help!

I have a coolant leak on my 98 durgano. I think its coming from in between the tranny and the motor. I think its the freeze plug(s) but im not sure. Or maybe a crack in the intake? Has anyone had this problem?

I have to fll it up before i go anywhere. It doesn't overheat unless i forget to fill it up. It drips more than the a/c drip does.


Please help me to figure out what this is and maybe how much it would be to fix it?

Thanks

Before you dive into the rear "impossible to reach" plugs, check your cabin air box drain first (maybe even your heatercore lines at the firewall). You will see a plastic outlet on the firewall near the passenger side header above the heat sheild that when the core leaks, can be confused as a freeze plug.
( i have a body lift with removed splash gaurds so it wont be as easy to see)
