head gasket coolant leak, or something else

My car has developed a rather profuse coolant leak that's coming from somewhere around the pulley end of the engine. The coolant is dripping down just to the right (passenger) side of the block just underneath the power steering pump. It appears there is a pipe coming off the bottom of the engine block just below the PS pump. I am thinking that the coolant is coming from there, but it's hard to tell through all the dirt and grime. My other thought is that it was coming from the block to head seal, indicating a head gasket leak, but I don't have any other signs of a head gasket failure, like bad compression, oil in coolant, or coolant in oil, so I don't suspect it's the H.G., I think it's this pipe coming off the block. I looked in the Bentley though, and there is no mention of this pipe. I guess it's a heater core line of some sorts, but can't figure it out! I've known of very few engines to leak from a coolant passage to the outside without showing other signs of headgasket issues.
