anti freeze pissing out of engine

well guys i went to head to my gf's, i stopped to pick up gas, filled up, went to pay, and saw a bunch of anti freeze leaking from my car. i quickly popped the hood and saw it coming from the oil pan area (underneath of engine).

i haven't had a chance to look at it yet as its very dark and i have no ramps. anyone have any ideas on what it could be so i can stop worrying (or start)

If it is freeze plugs, I think you may have to pull the tranny,
not to certain I've never done it.
Do a search on this board for "freeze plugs"and see what comes up.I had antifreeze leaking in the same spot and it turned out to be leaky intake.Good luck.DUECE

where under the engine? front, back, left, right? if its the front, it could be the waterpump or front cover gasket leaking. sides are probably the freeze plugs. get a light and see if you can tell at all. freeze plugs can be a PITA to replace if you dont have a good angle on them.
