The leak is probably coming from the waterpump weep hole. It means a new water pump is in your future.

Looks like you will be doing this. click here. Look closely for the weep hole, time for another water pump.

Nice link Rick, Bookmarked that one for future use.

Crazer - you might want to take this time to replace your upper radiator hose with the style that routes around the serp. belt instead of through it. (if your truck has that kind of belt.) Plus some folks go ahead and replace the thermostat as well. Good luck.
