It's probably running down from the top. Check under the intake and the back of the engine carefully. Use a mirror if you have to.

Thanks i found the problem. It was the bleeder housing the rubber gaskets were shot and water was seeping out of it and running to the back of the block. Stay tuned though it is one of those dodge 2.7 litters with all of the problems!

That housing is a common leak source. The dealer sells the replacement. It comes with a pipe attached.
