Hey guys I have a coolant leak from the rear of the engine it drips down off of the starter, any ideas what this may be ? I checked the hose clamps and they are tight.
 
Probably want to get it on some ramps or a lift and shine a light up from the bottom. I have seen 3 causes.
1. Head gasket leaking
2. Freeze plug rusted out
3. Rusted/busted hard lines or hoses going to or from the heater core.

The starter covers the freeze plug so it can be hard to see from any angle

It's gonna rain in a couple days so I'll check it out then and report back, had plans on going to a cruise today should I let this stop me ?
 
Go to parts store, get a free loaner tool that pressurizes the radiator. You will see your leak clear as day. Takes the guesswork out of it.
