Head gasket??

Working on a 2000 F150 with the 5.4 and as near as I can determine its leaking antifreeze externally at the front of the passenger side head gasket. Seems a little odd.Has anyone else seen this kind of problem? The coolant is a nasty dirty orange color. With the truck running on the hoist it was dripping very steady off of the very front exhaust manifold bolt. Any suggestions? Thanks!

look close at the inside of the VEE. Make sure its not coming off the intake manifold water cross over line and dripping around to the outside.
