Coolant Leaking

I drove my truck to get something to eat a lunch, pulled in to the parking lot and noticed drips in front of the the truck. Looked underneath and there was coolant forming a puddle on the ground towards the rear of the engine. It appears that the coolant is coming from the back of the head on the passenagers side. When the truck is running it is a pretty drip, but not a stream. There doesn't appear to be any coolant bubbles on the dipstick.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Worried about driving it home (about 10 miles stop and go) even after refilling.

Thanks,
Bob
