You could try, but it will be a temporary fix at best and could plug up the heater core or radiator at the worst.

Water can not leak from the rear main seal, only oil. Most likely there is a leaking freeze plug near the rear main seal dripping water onto it.
Would a leaking freeze plug cause a 1983 305 Chevy sb to overheat?
Once it gets low on coolant because of the leak, absolutely. The leak by itself won't make it overheat if it's a small leak and your coolant level doesn't get low. If you DO have a leaking freeze plug, it WILL get worse, and probably rapidly. Also, if one freeze plug has rusted through and started leaking, you should replace ALL of them because the others probably aren't far behind.
Does oil leak from a freeze plug?
NO
Can you use jb weld on freeze plug leak?
Sounds like a real bad idea. A leaking freeze plug is usually a sign of a very neglected cooling system. You need to replace the leaking plug with a new one. Unfortunately there is probably corrosion throughout the whole cooling system. You will probably have other leaks soon.
Can you still drive a car with a leaking freeze plug?

What has happened with the coolant system to cause the head gasket to leak coolant out of the side of the engine block when the car has not overheated and is it worth repairing myself?
If it's out of a freeze plug you might want to take care of it yourself. Sometimes if you don't keep good antifreeze in an engine the freeze plug will rust through and start leaking. Sometimes they just start leaking anyway. If you can get the old freeze plug out and get the surfaces clean you might be able to put in one of the replacment type freeze plugs. That part isn't too hard, it just depends on where the freeze plug is.
Will a bad freeze plug prevent car from starting?
A bad freeze plug will leak coolant and cause the engine to overheat.
How can you see where the coolant leak is coming from It seems to me that its coming from between transmission and motor?
It is possible for coolant to leak out between the motor and transmission, if a freeze plug has been leaking. I had this problem on an old International Travelall I had. The motor will need to be pulled.
Antifreeze leaking from back of engine?
More than likely your freeze plug is going to be the culprit and I would suggest you look there first. On some vehicles, the freeze plug is covered by the transmission housing or just plain difficult to get to and inspect for the average person. On older models, the freeze plug can rust out and create a leak. In this case take it to your trusted mechanic for repair.
