What motor? LA has three on each side of the block and two in each head. Two in front and behind the block also.

Moparite,
It is the 318, last night my son and I pulled off the water pump thinking that is what was leaking, there is coolant dripping down the edge of the timing cover where it meets the front of the block on the passenger side. This motor is original and has 490K miles on it, but Dodge skipped out on putting quality freeze plugs in during the build process and I've spent more time than I care to replacing them over the years. Where or for what reason in that area would it be leaking? Thanks.

You will need to replace the timing cover gasket. And if you want good freeze plugs get the brass ones.
