Several things in that area.

There is a heater hose at the firewall.

There is a 90 degree coolant hose under the intake manifold on the rear iron (if it's a TII) or a hose that leads to the BAC. Since you didn't mention what year the car is, I can only guess.

There are also freeze plugs on the rear iron.

If it's the freeze plugs, then yes, that's not easy to fix. You'll have to pull the transmission and flywheel to get to them.
