From what I can see it's leaking from where the transmission and the engine bolt together. I can't find a water trail leading back anywhere and now I'm lost as to what it could be. Help plz.

How fast does this leak? Some can look like a fine fishing line and spray a needle thread like that and make finding the source tough. In general leaks will be the highest and furthest forward of any trace or evidence. Of couse a leak could be anywhere there is coolant so a pressure test would really help find it. Use dental type mirrors or whatever it takes and it'll show up,

When I first start putting water in it's just a drip every few seconds but it gets faster until it's a steady stream about the size of a pen.

You gotta be able to find a leak that fast. Try cleaning and letting it all dry and use food coloring or something harmless to leave a good trail for you trace,

If it is leaking between the transmission and engine, you have a freeze plug that has rusted through. Transaxle will need to be removed to repair. Part is about 2 dollars, labor is a bunch.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
