Coolant Leak in Cylinder Head? Please Help

Hi Everyone,

I just bought a 1980 Scirocco to restore a few weeks ago and I flushed the coolant. Well it looks like the coolant/water is coming out from between the timing belt tensioner and the cam sprocket. Does anyone know if there is a freeze plug on that end of the cylinder head and does anyone know what size?

The only other things it could be are either a blown head gasket or a crack in the cylinder head. The car only has 50k miles on it, but it has been sitting and the coolant looks more like rusty water.

Thanks,
Bryan
