have you tried washing it off and running engine while watcjing to see where it's coming from? could be squirting from a pin hole in hose not even near where you see the spill.

With the design of that engine a leak most anywhere will find it's way to the spark plug holes. You should pressure test the cooling system to find the source of the leak. Some of the large auto part chain stores will loan out a pressure tester.
