So i went down to safeway about halfanhour ago and on the way out i noticedd the jeep leaking. A pretty steady constand drip of antifreeze come from looks to be the downpipe behind the motor. Where could it be coming from?

Check your heater hoses to make sure they're not leaking.
Only place back there is can come short of a blown head gasket, or maybe a bad temp sensor leaking.

Remember that the gasket seals the entire head surface and its possible to have a blown gasket that does not intrude in to the combustion chamber.
Not real common but possible.
I would lean towards a heater hose or leaking sensor.

Was it coolant or just water you seen leaking? If it was just water it is most likely the HVAC drain doing its job.

Is it leaking out the drain tube on the hvac (heatercore)? maybe the heater control valve,not sure if the 94 has one of these. I know you said around the down tube, these are just a guess to give you more spot's to look.

So today i checked my freeze plugs and the 6 on the side were in wonderful condition and the one behind the head near the firewall. Also did a radiator flush today the rad cap was gunky. Drove it down the street and its steaming leaking somewhere behind the motor.
