Hello Richard,
There doesn't appear to be a freeze plug on the front of the block.
They are always located on the lower sides of the block.
If you can see water on the front of the engine do a visual inspection when the motor is off and cold.
Take a rag and dry off any noticeable moisture. Start the engine and let it warm up, carefully check all the areas listed below to see if you can isolate the leak.
The radiator could be leaking and dispersing coolant towards the motor while driving the car. A hose or fitting could be leaking. The intake manifold or thermostat gasket could be leaking. The water pump could be leaking at higher RPM's.
Well you need a pressurizing tool, no way around it have it done or borrow the tool from Autozone.
