it will be the heater pipes as Andy said, and they do chaff and leak, they start from the water matrix around the oil filter on the passenger side, go up behind the head and enter the bulkhead by the abs servo then out from the same place, across the the exhaust manifold and enter the thermo housing or water pump depending on whether 2 or 4wd.
