weird coolant leak....

Hi all.
New guy on this forum with a problem!
I have a 96 explorer that has recently developed a coolant leak. i was able to find the location of the leak, but i am puzzled by what is causing it. It is leaking on the back, passenger side of the engine, and while the truck is running it just squirts coolant out on and off...i am guessing it leaks when the thermostat opens. anyways, anyone have any ideas on what is could be? i was thinking lower intake gasket, but i have never seen a lower gasket squirt like that!
