coolant leak can you tell me what this is?

ok so I got a 95 talon non turbo 5 spd. right behind the exhaust manifold under the freeze plug I think is some sort of bulge or cap of some sort I cant see clearly cause the manifold and heat shield are in the way. I cant take the heat shield off as the bolts will likely snap. does anyone know what this is or what I am talking about and an action to stop the leak. it seems to only leak when the car is running temp. thank you.

420A? If it is, you have a freeze plug inline with cylinders #1 and #4

If it only leaks with the engine running, the expanding pressure of coolant is weeping through the freeze plug.

The fix, simple, remove the old freeze plug and install a new one.

I don't think its the freeze plug. it something under the freeze plug. likei don't know how else to explain it but it looks like a small bulge coming out of the block but it looks solid NOT like a cap or nething but like a cast hump or something

the hole to the right of the "under the dipstick hole"

That just made it confusing. Out of the 3 below the dipstick tube is it; left, middle, or right? (right being the middle of the block)
