Default What could be leaking?

I removed the throttle body and checked all the obvious hoses. The (orange, don't judge) water almost seems to be coming from the block itself, and is pissing all over like a Russian racehorse on steroids. Where is my coolant leak and how can I get to it??

First thought would be the temperature sender under the thermostat.

I would agree!
Is this a 3400 motor? I think the Temp sensor could be just behind this opening for the Thermostat I just replaced one on my Pontiac it screws into the Block, you might also want to check the Bleeders there might be 2 of them. If it is the 3400 they can be a pain to bleed out so it doesn't get hot.

Bleeder is the leaker here.
