Water pump will sling water everywhere. Look and feel in area, may find water drip under pump. Get a radiator shop to run a pressure test.

do you think the fan is just blowing it all over the front of the motor?

What about the freeze plug in the front of the head, I know the second gen 24 valves have them, not sure on the thrid gens. Wouldn't hurt to look. I bet thats what it is, 40 psi won't blow out the head gasket. But look at the water pump good too.

that part is under warranty through Dodge for 100K. i just had mine done. a cummins part installed on it for $100 plus tax at the dealership. mine went so bad that i got out at work, and it was puking it out all over the ground. dodge paid for the tow too.
