Default 01 Malibu 3.1 Coolant Leak on the firewall side of the engine

My car developed a coolant leak on the firewall side of the V6 engine. I'm not able to tell what exactly is leaking at this time but will dig into it more this weekend.

Can anyone give me suggestions on where coolant may be leaking on that side of the engine?

Thanks in advance.

Probably the heater core.

Does anyone have a good picture of the connection from the heater core to the engine?
