i had the some problem with my old truck an 88 f150 f150 it was a lose hose clamp

check all your hoses, after that an intake manifold gasket replacement may be in your future
(I had the same exact problem, but it was pretty clear it was the gasket as you could see it bulging out)

Timing cover gasket

Timing cover gasket? I didn't think there was antifreeze behind the timing cover, The anti freeze is on top of the engine! If I do that would it be a good idea to get a new timing chain because I do have 800 miles shy of 250,000 miles on it and its never been replaced

No but it does go through the timing cover to the block and yes it would be a good idea to change the timing chain while you are there.

So that would explain why I have coolant on top of my motor looking at the front of the truck on the right side of the distributor
