Coolant leak

I have a 1996 F250, 7.3 Powerstroke with 250,000 miles. I recently developed a coolant leak at the back of the engine. It's dripping from a cover plate by the bell housing. Are there any freeze out plugs on the back of the block? This is the only place I figure it could be coming from. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks,
RussP

Have you checked the heater hoses that go to the heater core on the firewall passenger side?

I just posted in the correct forum, thanks.

No way it could be a heater hose, it's coming from behind the bell housing.
