98 5.0 leaking antifreeze by front driver side head

[PUR PONY]

My 220K mile 98 5.0 sprung a leak. Looks to be leaking anti-freeze from behind the power steering pump. Looks like its coming from the front of the head or possibly the back of the timing cover. I need to rip into it and have a closer look but i was just wondering if there was any commend leak points in that area. Im afraid its a head gasket ill be replacing but wont know till i get some free time to investigate a little further.

If all goes well plan on an afternoon job. Replace the water pump if you haven't before just to be safe. After 280k my gasket went. I replaced the timing chain as well it was not badly worn but a huge difference with the new one.
