Coolant leak

I have coolant leaking out of the front timing cover on my '91 302. What did I break? Is this a big problem, or sumthin I can fix?

Most likely it is your water pump that is leaking. You might also want to look into replacing your timing gear set at the same time, depending on how many miles you have on the engine.
