I have a coolant leak at the back of the motor just below the intake manifold and I am not sure of the source. I have move the wiring harness and A/C line the block my view. The only thing I can see that it might be is a sensor that goes into the top of the block and is held in place by what looks like an old style distributer hold down.

What is back there that could be the source of the leak/
