Have engine coolant coming through small hole in timing cover on 302 v8 how is coolant getting into timing cover?

I would suspect a leaking water pump, if I remember correctly it is mounted right in front of the timing cover and if it is leaking from the back the water will find it's way out somehow.

Why is Water is coming into the car and overheating?
If you mean engine coolant is getting into the car, the heater core is leaking coolant causing the coolant level to drop and that causes the engine to over heat.
Why is white smoke coming out of your exhaust in your Nissan 240sx?
Sounds like engine coolant is getting into an engine cylinder
Why is Water disappearing and coming out of exhaust?
You need a head or intake gasket. Coolant is getting into engine. Head more likely.
Why is water condensation coming out your 1999 Chevy cavalier exhaust?
If this happens only when engine is cold it is a normal condition If this hasppens when engine is at normal operating temperature it may be a sign of head gasket leakage Check to see if oil is getting into coolant or coolant getting mixed with engine oil
Why is coolant coming out through radiator cap on 1993 Pontiac grand am?
If the engine is cold... it could mean that the radiator cap is too weak to hold and you need to get a new one. If the engine is HOT... it could mean that you have overheated it and you need to add water after the engine has cooled a bit, to prevent getting burned, be careful and use a towel to remove the cap to add coolant.

through the coolant tank!
White smoke constant 2001 windstar exhaust?
If the engine is fully warmed up and you are still getting white smoke coming out of the tailpipe when the engine is idling , it sounds like engine coolant is getting into an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket or some other problem
Why does your 1994 suzuki rm 125 smoke from the radiator overflow?
If you are getting exhaust smoke coming out of the radiator overflow, you need to replace the head gasket that seals the cylinder from the cylinder cap where your coolant runs through to cool the engine.
What does the cooling system do within the engine?
It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator. Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.

Does the thermostat control the heat in your car?
No, the thermostat controls the temperature of the engine coolant. As long as the coolant temperature is below the thermostat set-point, the thermostat remains closed. Once the temperature arrives at the set-point, the thermostat starts to open, sending heated coolant through the radiator. The radiator then cools the heated engine coolant and the water pump forces the coolant back through the engine. The heater control valve allows more or less of the engine coolant through the heater core. Since the coolant should be very near the set-point temperature of the thermostat, you should be getting hot water through the heater core to warm the inside of the vehicle. The engine coolant is there to keep the engine from melting down or from breaking metal parts and burnng off the oil. It just happens that the heated coolant is useful to warm the inside of the vehicle.
Is your engine coolant supposed to move once the engine is on?
The coolant should circulate through the entire water system.
