coolant leak

Hi guys,
I've got a slow coolant leak coming from my engine(351m) just below where the rad hose connects to the engine (not from the hose) Just wondering if I can fix this or if I've got a crack.
Any suggestions would be apprieciated.

Is it at the goose neck (thermostat housing)or at the bottom of the block?

Please don't pull out in front of me! The last thing I want to do is play identify the pieces with you or your car.

It shouldn't be too much. I'm guess no more than maybe $30-40. But that's just a guestimate. I can't remember what they run.
