Coolant leak, beginner, 2003 3.0l

I have a 2003 Ford ranger xlt 3.0l with a coolant leak. I have fixed random things so far by looking at Google results and watching youTube but I don't know what I'm looking at. Or how to search what needs to be replaced. I added a dye to the coolant and put the pressure tester on it. Can someone look and tell me where this leak is coming from?
