If it is the top side of the engine, it is most likely the valve conver gaskets that are leaking. I steam clean the engine, let it dry, and then put white baking flour on the engine to make the leak more visiible.

Where is the thermostat
Follow the upper radiator hose down to engine. It should lead you to the thermostat housing. I've seen it in other locations on other cars but I'm pretty sure that's where it is on a Taurus.

Oil leak
Sounds like the rear main oil seal. There should be an inspection port on front and bottom of the transmission. Remove the cover and see if there's oil. If so, pull the engine and replace the seal.

2003 ford taurus idle problems had trouble codes
A code P0174 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
  • There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor. and your solutions are.
    • In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner . Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling
    • Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary
    • Check for a dirty fuel filter and proper fuel pressure
