There are a few places it can be leaking from. The intake manifold could be leaking from above and running down the side of the bellhousing or you could have a leaking freeze plug in the back of the block. Use a mirror to check the top of the bellhousing very carefully before removing the transmission.

Freeze plugs just rust out from the inside. The only way to access the ones on the back of the block is by removing the transmission so make sure that is where it's coming from..

Look, I'm not there to inspect your truck and that is the only way that you're going t get any accurate answers to these questions. I can tell you using water in the cooling system is what brings on these issues in the long term.
You need to have the system pressure tested and inspected.
