Start the engine and build up pressure see if you can see where the leak is.... Looks like it is leaking around the coupling to the radiator hose. The evidence is on the bolt.

remove the two bolts and apply RTV on the surface.. Inspect the O ring and you could replace it..

The heater hose is under the dist , inspect it also..
