Coolant Leak

I’m fixing an 85 fb I picked up a bit ago, and I went to put coolant into it and it took more than what seemed normal. Then out of nowhere coolant started pouring out of between where the bell housing meets the motor. It came from the underside and was streaming pretty well. I was wondering if anyone knew what part was leaking or should I just remove the trans and figure it out?

The rear iron has freeze plugs. You'll need to remove the trans and flywheel to inspect/replace.
