Excellent point...I wasn't thinking with a clear image in my mind of its location! The only coolant above the gasket is in the head if its coming out there are no designed "exit points" therefore a crack is the likely suspect..

  It's worse than that.  Think about it, the spark plug recess is ABOVE the head gasket.  
  So unless you are having some type of gravity storm, your choices are:
  1. Leaky heater feed
  2. Cracked head.

  It would be worth a few bucks to take the car to a shop and have the cooling system pressure tested.  This will give you the correct answer.

    Hopefully it is coming from the heater feed that comes out of the side of the head in that area...otherwise it would have to be a gasket leak!
