There is a tube that goes from the rear to the front under that cover, and something about the gasket failing. Poor design (MY two cents)...
I think it might be a good idea to pull the stiffening plate to better get an idea where the coolant is coming from... I would think it has to be a coolant hose if it is just pouring out when you fill the tank (without the motor running)... Might also be the water pump and a quick check of the front shaft on that would indicate it's condition...
About half way thru page 12 (post 116) I go into the hoses for our motors after my rebuild... Not sure it could help, but......

Thanks much for the reply.
With the fan removed, I can see that there is no leaking or weeping from the water pump. I am delaying the job - hoping someone else will chime in before I start taking things apart.
Before I do anything, I will try to get a mirror behind the block to see if I can see ANYTHING back there, second will be the plate.
Thanks again.
