My 1997 f250 started leaking coolant today?

My 97 f250HD started leaking coolant when i got to my house today. I pulled in my driveway and when it shut it off smoke came from under the hood and coolant was pouring on the ground from under the engine. It was driving normally all day and my gauges were all reading normal. As i investigated the problem i noticed it was leaking around the vicinity of my oil filter on my engine block. It is a steady stream of fluid pouring out too. All my hoses seem to be intact so i really dont know why its leaking fluid. My fan has no play in it so i dont think its a water pump. Intake manifold gasket? Broken heater hose? Please help

    intake manifold gasket, or head gasket, or freeze plug behind trans bell cover on engine, rear. or, u missed a heater hose back there, a cracked block is rare, but not that rare and usually happens after riding it hard while hot, like when the red lites come on dash, but you keep driving to make the nearest off ramp, so I don't think the block is cracked, good luck!
