water leak from unknown source.

Here lately my car has been leaking water after I shut it off. When I get off work I can see a place where a small puddle of water has been under my car. Thats how I first realized I had a leak. Anyway, I was jacking the front of my car up today getting it ready to have the clutch changed, when a small bit of water started leaking from the back of the engine on the passenger side. I found that very odd as the car had been sitting overnight in the building I have it in. Only when the car was inclined did it leak. The water seems to be coming from somewhere near the top of the engine. Anyone have any ideas where this water is coming from?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Jeremy

There is a coolant line that runs from the bottom of the TB to the rear iron. I wou8ld check there first due to the symptom you described. It could also be one of the o-rings in between the lim and the rotor housings.

What's up man?
