Hello everyone and welcome to my first post/problem

02 venture, just noticed some coolant coming down the front of engine, lower right front side if looking at engine, smelled it this morning so started looking. Anyone have any insight i would greatly appreciate it as i try to do all the repairs i can

Autopart stores have a "loan a tool" program. Get a pressure tester to see where the leak is. Caution, don't let it overheat.

A cold pressure test could be revealing. It would also be prudent to check the engine oil for signs of coolant.

A common leakage area in the 60° V-6 is the intake flange. However, given the area you describe leakage could be from the thermostat housing, air bleeder, upper intake bypass pipe/hose, and various other sources.
