Default 1995 Dodge Sport Caravan with water problems

Hello Everyone out there!
I have a 95 Dodge Sport Caravan 3.0L V6 with 137K on it, I already
replaced the water pump and found coolant leaking a lot behind the
engine, I couldnt find the leak comes from, any ideas?

There is a metal hose running underneath the intake manifold, from the water
pump to the water hose leading to the radiator that is prone to rusting out.

Since the engine sits sideways, there's the possibility of a leaking "freeze
plug". Enough years and corrosion (external or internal) and they can
resemble swiss cheese. You'd have to take a look with a light (and maybe
also a mirror)... The only real problem with finding such a thing and fixing
it is when they end up hidden behind exhaust parts or starter motors.
Otherwise, you pry them out (with that screwdriver that said "do not use as
a prybar"), clean up the hole, and seat the new one by whacking it in
(straight!) by hitting the piece of 2x4 you hold on the plug.
