If coolant is dripping from the rear of the engine where it connects to the transmission, a likely suspect is a corroded core plug. The transmission will have to be removed to replace that. There will be no coolant near the top of the engine that you can easily see.
A more common cause is a leaking heater core. To identify that, look under the hood on the passenger side of the firewall for a 4" long rubber hose hanging down with a 90 degree bend in it. Coolant will drip from that hose if the heater core is leaking.
There can also be a ruptured heater hose near the rear of the engine. Repairing that is relatively inexpensive.
