First off, 3.2 DOHC 1994 Trooper, ~170k miles, no engine work so far, recently replaced radiator.

So this morning I get out of my truck to smell the sweet smell of antifreeze that has become very annoying to me after smelling it daily from my previous leaking radiator. The leak is coming from the top of the engine on the driver's side near the front.

and here's a close up

The close up is a little hard to make out but the leak is coming from where it looks really dirty, right between/underneath all of the wiring. Right now, after the cooling system builds pressure it is lightly spraying, enough to be able to smell it when I get out of the truck. After I turn off the engine the leak bubbles for about 30 seconds and then stops. I have a feeling of what this might be but I hope that some people have some encouraging words. This is my DD (30+ mi/day) so its only going to get worse, quickly.
