What is that small hole on the left side of the engine?

Pull your #1 plug wire and blow in the hole and you will see it goes directly to the plugs and acts as a drain for the spark plug gallery. If coolant is coming out that hole, 95% chance it is coming from the vertical coolant pipes coming out the top of the head. Check the clamps and make sure they are tight. If they are tight, loosen the clamps, reposition the hose and then retighten. If these hoses leak any fluid, it will find its way to the drain hole and leak out. If it is not a loose hose, then you may have a bad O-ring on the base of the coolant standpipe. If that is not the case then you may have a crack in the head somewhere. Thanks to yamahablue for this.
