96 Caravan 3.0L leaking anti-freeze

96 Caravan V-6 3.0L engine. The engine is leaking anti-freeze from
the left driverside of the engine at the top where the metal water
pipe goes into the engine. The exhaust pipe is blocking, so a clear
view is not possible. It is leaking down onto the tranny. What are
the possible cause of this leak. Any advice will be greatly
appreciated.

Bad "O" ring or rusted through tube. Mine had both (along with a leaky
water pump) I brazed the pipe and gooped the "O"ring to hold it long
enough to get the water pump, tube, "O"ring and required gaskets to do
the job right. (88 New Yorker Mark Cross)
