Default water pissing out of motor

OK I got a 97 dodge caravan 3.3. I have a little issue I have water pissing out of the side of my motor on the driver side. Here's a pic







I think and hope Its the head gasket but I never had one leak on the outside.
What do ya think?

Welcome to DF
This is a common problem with 3.3 and 3.8L. The leak is cause by the head gasket. replace both head gaskets and recheck for any further leaks.

Thank you for confirming it. I was pretty sure it was the head gasket but a friend of mine kept telling me it was a cracked block. Friends are mean lol. Thank you once again.
