brought bird out of hibernation...leak detected

I just brought out my bird today from storage and I noticed some spots on the floor of the garage. I looked under the hood in the general vicinity and noticed a small drip, as the engine warmed up the drip got a little faster. It appears to be antifreeze. I checked all around the area and it doesn't look like it's leaking from the heads, it looks like it's right by the motor mount. My neighboor said it might be the freeze plug. Does this sound right, and is it pretty difficult to get the replaced??

sounds possiable but, I would psi check you cooling system and make sure that is the cause. easy part to get but, can be a bitch to remove.
