Default Coolant leak need help finding source

I've got a 1990 hatchback dx with the d15b2 and I've got a water leak from the radiator anywhere around the cam gear all the way down to the crank basically coming from around that whole side of the engine. It started raining so I couldn't get real dirty and try and find the leak also it only leaks when the engine starts to get hot. If anyone can give me a tip or anything about where I should search and how to test if thats where the leak is it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check that **** out ASAFP! If that blows out completely it'll take your motor with it.
