Unhappy HELP! E-block Water Leak

Why is water coming out from the passenger side of my block? It is NOT turbo, so no BAC as far as I can tell. No hoses leak, the water comes from somewhere on the passenger side of the block, it pours out from behind the exhaust manifold heat shield. Someone please tell me what has gone wrong (then tell me it's an easy fix!!!)

Non-turbos have BAC valves also they are on the drivers side of the intake manifold and have coolant hoses going through them. Allow your cars engine to cool down. Then inspect the area where the water came from. There is a coolant passage that goes to the thermowax which is at the back of the engine at about 11 o'clock if you look at it from the front of the car.

Thank you Santiago, I'll go look. I meant to look up the BAC in the RX7 manual; I only glanced at a picture of a turbo engine and noticed the BAC was on the left, and my engine didn't have that. I'll look at it today after work, and look at the wax thing too.
Thanks again!!!
