Sounds like a head gasket. I would rent a pressure tester and connect it to your radiator cap hole and pump it up to see where its leaking.

Hope it's just a core plug (some call them freeze plugs) rotted out.

It appears to be leaking from a port in the lower intake where the colant flows pasr a heat sensor now tge 93 didnt have a sensor there like the 89's does and idk if the engine will run rigjt without them because of the computer, i also used gasket maker since the origional gasket was junk, so idk if the origonal intake on the 93 was warped to the head and thays why the 89's intake leaks or if i failes to pute enough gasket maker around there
