Coolent leak, where could it come from?

[SHO M0nk3y]

As the title says. My parents '95 ATX has a coolant leak on the firewall side of the engine. My dad and I ruled out the heater hoses. The leak is about the middle of the engine and is about where the wire harness that runs by the engine and firewall. It's leaking on to the header so it smells real bad inside and out . Could this be a cracked head or blown head gasket, or something else? All ideas on what's causing it will be great.

Heres a pic about where the leak might be coming from. (I'll Post a better one later.)

if its not heater hoses.. the only other thing i can think of is freeze plugs.

it might be the drain hole for the heater core. i know when my heater core went out that it started to drip down from there, but never on to the header, maybe the cats though.... but i have her bypassed now so no more drippy.... thats my .02..

It is just above the header, because the wire harness just above the header there is covered in coolent and it is dripping on the header.

i cant recall exactly where the freeze plugs are but that would be the exact area for one to leak..i would check those first.
