My 1986, 2M6, V-6 manual seems to have a coolant leak somewhere above the oil filter. I was changing oil and was directly under car looking up at oil filter when, I noticed coolant dripping down from above. Does any one have any idea where it might be leaking.... what are common places for leaks and proper fixes?
Thanks!

Yes, the possible places include the coolant crossover pipe......Also, you could have a leaking head gasket.....Also, a another possibility would be a freeze plug rotting out.
