93 4runner 3.0 leaking coolant

I have a 93 4runner with 3.0 V6 3VZE and it is leaking coolant from some where above the thermostat housing and i can't see where it's coming from. It only leaks if i turn the air vent blower on and it doesn't matter if it is on heat or cool. i need help quick i'm going to nashville this weekend and i need my suv! Thanks ahead for all your comments!

What do you mean by thermostat housing? The water inlet that's next to the water pump or the climate control panel on the dash?

my camera is broken right now, sorry. do you know what is located above the thermostat housing. coolant is oozing down from around that and dripping down onto the oil pan. if you are standing in front of the truck then it's to the right of the lowest alternator bracket. i don't think it's too far above the thermostat housing because of the way it's coming down.

last july i had blown a head gasket and had it fixed but it was leaking from the back on the driver side. it's just weird that it only leaks when the blower is on.
