Mercruiser Alpha Drive Leaking Water in Engine Compartment

My engine has begun leaking water when running from the right side of the compartment as you face the stern of the boat (port side).
Prior to the leak, the motor was running strong but when the leak was note the engine had a loss of power without the engine overheating.
The water only leaks when the engine is running - you can see the leak from high in the compartment about mid way back on the right side near mid engine.
The engine compartment is very tight so it is difficult to tell exactly where it is coming from (Maxum 2100 SR).
