Coolant leaking from back of motor

Like the title says ive got coolant leaking from the back of the motor somewhere i am not sure. Anyone have any ideas. Im thinkin it may be a freeze plug but i hope not. It only leaks after i have run the car for a little while then stops after the car cools off. Its running fine about 190-200 it doesnt overheat but i can smell coolant burning when im driving around its a chevy 350 its new i have only put about 300 miles on it since i put it in the car but i did sit for over a year after the rebuild before i put it in and ran oil thru it its bored 40 over. Hope you have an idea for me

I think it was the hose into the heater core. It was loose and a little wet around the bottom of it but i never saw anything leaking from it. It got dark but im gonna drive it and check again in the morning and see if that got it.

Yup that got it!!!
