Not to put too fine a point on it, but you need to communicate a bit better so others can understand what you are asking. My best guess is you are saying you have a big water leak on the right side of the engine?
You will get more replies that help if you are more clear about what you need.

Look at this photo below. The black pipe (about 3 oclock) running from the center to the right side is the water pipe that feeds coolant into the heater core from the engine. It is sealed only with a small O ring and will start to leak badly if disturbed. You can try pushing on the pipe to see if that effects the leak. It is hard to reach, you need to take off many parts of the intake to get to what my photo looks like. The pipe slides right out once you have the room to get to it.

Hope this helps you.

Is the water leaking from behind one of the pullies and only when the engine is running? If yes then it sounds like it might be the water pump.

If you can see it coming out of the block it is probably the intake manifold gasket set. These vans are known for this problem.
