This is the 3100 engine. I've stayed with Dex Cool (orange) and flushed the radiator a couple times. I'm original owner. Intake gasket was replaced at 60,000 miles.
I got this leak on the right side (passenger) of the engine above the crank shaft. The anti-freeze drips steady coming from under the serpentine belt tensioner area. See picture. Where could this be coming from & the process to fix?
Thanks Much!

I'm not seeing the picture, but it sounds like the vicinity of the water pump, which can leak out the shaft, or water tube from it to the heater hoses, which can spring leaks in a variety of ways.
