Sorry,
I'll fix that picture. I posted that on an incredibly crappy tablet (they are all crap).
Now that I'm at a computer I can do a better job.
The leak is from the cylindrical "manifold" under the exhaust header and ahead and above of the clutch slave cylinder in front of the bell housing. it has two coolant lines going into it. I imagine it's some sort of bypass. Connections to the cylinder are dry. It's the gasket/oring from this cylinder peice onto the block.
It has not been over heated, if anything it's been too cold. I bought this truck this year and have never tested the coolant. I drove it 6 hours the day the leak was discovered in -25 (wind chill of around -30 celcius). The coolant dripping out was not frozen so my hopes are pretty high that the coolant is the right proportions for these temperatures.
EDIT: You can now see the cylidner on the picture I borrowed from TTROA. Its to the right of the oil filter and engine mount. It appears the coolant line coming from the right side of the water pump (from front of vehicle) goes around the oil filter, around the mount, and into this cylinder.
Sadly, my service manual and information on my truck is at home. I'm tempted to limp it back the 6 hours stopping every hour or so to check coolant level. This way I have my own tools and better availability of parts. Sadly, it's my only vehicle so I do need it fixed for work or I'll be renting a car till I can repair it.
