Hello im a new member here so please bare with me. I have a 1989 fox body mustang with a 363 turbo motor, but ill go into all the specs later. For now I have a problem and hope someone could help diagnose it for me. Also im in the Bay Area if anyone is near I would gladly pay for some help and your time. So the motor is yet to be started and yesterday I put motor oil in and radiator fluid with the hopes of starting it. when I put the radiator fluid in all was fine until I squeezed the lower radiator hose thinking I would pump fluid into the case. when I squeeze the hose fluid leaked out what appears to be around the bell housing or back of the motor. What would cause this. I am by no means an auto mechanic and could use any help I can get. Remember the motor has not even been cranked yet.

Is it coming out of the bellhousing or down the back of the motor? If down the back, could be a coolant hose fitting at back of intake or intake gasket not in place correctly. First two things I can think of.
