Unfortunately its coming from the back side of the block by the transmission....I'm thinking the main back pipe...

well I have to remove the plenums to pull the wiring out of the way that is still back there to determine where its actually leaking at.....its fairly hard to take that pipe off the back..I had to use a prybar to get it to completely come off since the transmission dipstick is in the way...I removed the main bolt that holded that in place.

I will determine tonight.
