Default Leaking water and can't find the source

I have a 1994 4.3l c1500 single cad reg bed 2wd with 212k and its leaking water under the truck look to be where the tranny meets the block. I had someone look at it and said it was the intake manifold. So I change the gaskets and it fixed it for about 5 day no leaks. Then it started again. It leaks when the truck is off to a real fast leak. I think it might be the real plugs and I pulled the starter and their was water that came down on me when I removed it. None of the freeze plugs I can see are leaking. Is their and hidden if I pull the tranny?

Is it near the top of the block or the bottom where I could pull the tranny to get them?

Yes.
