Probably one of the freeze plugs on the back of the block. Might be a gasket, but unless you have coolant in your oil I doubt it's a gasket.

The bad news is that those leaking freeze plugs keep getting worse and worse, and their easiest to replace with the engine removed.

You can get brass freeze plug kits.
