It could be coming from a freeze plug in the block above the motor mount, there are atlest 3freeze plugs on each side of the engine above the motor mount.
Probably the coolant is leaking from somewhere higher on the engine than the motor mount, and it is running to the lowest point before dripping off. It could be a leak from the head gasket area, or possibly from the front of the engine and the cooling fan is blowing it back. Another possibility is that one of the core plugs (or freeze plugs) is leaking and must be replaced. The worst possibility is that the engine block is cracked.
With the engine off, get under the vehicle with a strong light and check the area above the motor mount closely. If the coolant has been leaking for a while, you should see a nice clean path where it has been running down, possibly with whitish lines along the edge. Trace it back to where it comes from, and you will know what has to be repaired to stop it.
