Let's hope it is a hose that is leaking -- there is one up front on the head that is usually the first to go - it is a 90 degree bent hose a few inches on each side of the leg.
Take a mirror -- say 6" X 6", and a flashlight -- stick the mirror under the exhaust manifold and shine the light so you can see the interface (in the mirror) between the block and the head -- look from the front to the back at the interface and see if you can see where any water is leaking down the side of the block. This would be the head gasket leaking. Towards the firewall, if there is a shadow of oil leaking in the area that is also a sign of head gasket failure.
