Coolant leak problem

My '79 Bronco has been leaking from several locations. I just noticed a particularly large one that's a little greenish in color (a new oil change allowed the green to show through better ).

It looks like the leak is coming from above the engine mount on the driver's side.

What do you think this can come from? A freeze plug or head gasket?

Other than the leak, Bronco runs fine and passed California smog recently.

I've an "new" crate engine on order, but wasn't counting on putting it in until after I rebuild the transfer case, tranny and put in a nice cam .
