Default 1966 Ford Thunderbird is leaking

I have a 1966 Ford T-bird. It has developed a leak somewhere around the starter. I looked around and saw two plugs (in front of the starter) but it did not appear they were leaking. The coolant seems to be running around the starter and down the transmission. Is there any suggestions. Any places to start? I am new to the T-bird and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I believe there are 3 plug on both side of the engine, so you may have to remove the starter to fix your problem. Also there is a plug on the back of the cylinder head you should check. FYI there are I think 2 more in the back of the engine infront of the transmission, but if they where leaking I don't think water would be falling on the starter. good luck

is it a heavy leak? if youre going to get into freeze plugs, i would look into checking all of them, and replacing them.
