Coolant leak, need help.

Today a coolant leak developed on my truck ('92 f-250, 7.5L, Auto, 4x4) and I do not know exactly where. I DO NOT have a manual for this truck yet, yes my mistake . From what I can tell, the leak looks to be coming from a diverter box or something similar where the lower radiator hose connects to. Attached to that box there is another hose that runs to the block.
Now I can see coolant on the bottom of the box but I can not tell if it is coming from the hose. Is this a "common" problem with this engine / year? Yes I know its a 22 year old truck so I am expecting things like this to happen until I go thru everything. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance!

Go rent a cooling system pressure tester. Apply pressure to the system and any leaks will become obvious.
