I've a feeling this might be an expensive repair.

It's hard to see the exact location of the leak, but it looks like it is leaking from the center rear of the engine. I suspect it is the heater valve, but there are other hoses between the fire wall and the engine. Pull the air box and you can see the hoses and the heater valve. These are not expensive parts (valve around $25, hoses are around $25 and $44 at 928int).
Once you pull the air box, you be able to get a better look at the source of the leak.
Don't drive it until you fix it.

Leaks into the valley flow or the ends.
Pour some water into it, not running, and see where it's coming from. You can free-rent a pressure tester from the local parts place to add some pressure whe the engine is cold and find leaks easily.

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately I live in an apartment complex in Los Angeles, and this isn't much of an option for me. I'm most certainly not mechanically savvy, and the car has to be moved to a new spot every day.
It seems I'm out of options here!

In the off chance he hasn't read the FAQ thread at the top, this seems to be sage advice:

But seein' as it's been over a week since he last stopped by, I'm guessing he has it under control.
How did that alternator turn out?

I mean, come on son, you gotta do better than this.
I hope you are just a joking troller - for your sake.
