'87 Turbo puking water. Help find where!

Okay, I have an 87 that is puking coolant from the rear of the head area. I think I have it narrowed down, but I'm not sure what the part is exactly.

It's on the passenger side head, very rear, between the head and firewall. A water hose (Heater hose?) runs right in front of it, so it's hard to get a good look in there.

My GF poured water in the rad, and I watched it run out from here, but what do I need to replace? Is there a water neck or pipe or something back there, or is the head itself cracked? Whatever is back there, can I replace it without pulling the head? That would be nasty....

Thanks in advance guys! This is my girl's ride, and has to be running next week at all costs. Whatever it takes, must be done. And I have to be able to take this car across country in 1 month!
