96 Astro 4.3L V6, van was getting hot, and leaking under the engine, changed water pump, temp gauge acted funny while driving, thought it might be thermostate, changed that, water continued to leak out under engine, crawled under car while engine running, looked as though water coming out just above the driver side motor mount. Any ideas? head gasket or freeze plug. Thanks for any suggestions.
