Default freeze plug on head/block?

Hey guys,
I have coolant coming out between the #1 and #3 plugs, just below them, cant really see from where though. Is there a freeze plug it might be coming out of on the block or the heads?

i tried getting a better look at it last night and couldnt see much of where its coming from.
i see a sensor to the left of the #1 plug and thats not where the leaks coming from.

its leaking between the #1 and #3 below the headers

I had the same thing happen last night, we forgot to put that plug (freeze plug I think) that goes on the head on the passanger side in the back. Only thing now is I need to find out what size allen head will fit that? What side is it coming from?
