Coolant leak, help needed.

Got a coolant leak on my 1989 Trans-Am GTA. It appears to be behind the engine mount on the drivers side. Can anyone tell me if there is anything behind there likely to cause the leak, like a core plug?

Nobody got any ideas? Guess I'll just have to lift the engine and take off the mount to have a look.

Did you figure this out yet? FYI, those two pipes coming from the left of your pic are the oil cooler lines. Compare to the pics in this for-sale thread:
