I have coolant leaking above the motor mount on the left side, can't see the source of the leak, onlt leaks while running, and warmed up. Any thoughts?

Check the freeze plugs, they corrode over time and devlop pinholes.

Normally I would say water pump, but you should have the system pressure tested to be sure before doing any repairs. Try looking with a bright flashlight to see if you can spot the origination of the leak, there should be a stain from it
