Default Leaking Coolant on Passanger Side After Project

Okay, so I've been working on my car for a while now, a '98 Trans Am. My build consists of a TSP 224R Cam, LS1 to LS6 PCV Conversion, 243 Heads, and TSP Full Exhaust.

Almost finished the project today, however when I went to go fill water in the radiator, water started gushing out of the passenger side of the engine. I have absolutely no idea where it is coming from and I need some ideas so that I can get this straightened out. In advance, all help is greatly appreciated.

Did you check the steam vent and the temp sending port on the head?

The leak seems to be coming from the front. I'll be checking the coolant head plug and the steam ports shortly though. If anyone else has anymore suggestions, please throw them out there.
