How much would this normally cost to fix? Is there something that i can do to temperally fix it? I'm I going to mess it up worse by not fixing it?

you arent getting very good answers are you first of all check the water pump if it is coming from the block it self you may have a busted freeze plug very common with this car or you can have a cracked block if so it is not any good need motor it can be your head gasket but not likely if it is leaking on the outside and for davecat350 the 15 year mechanic dont know how many cars he worked on but you can have a leak any where on the motor and not get water in the oil just because the oil is not white doesnt mean it is not the block you will need to pin point the leak to know the exact problem but i would start at the water pump and go from there to freeze plugs head gasket then block these are not able for temporary fix you can ruin the motor if it gets real hot it will cost you more money

Coolant Leaking From Engine

Check to see if it is leaking anywhere close to your oil filter housing. I don't remember if it's the cummins engine or not but I have seen the filter housing crack and leak coolant.

Simplify this answer for you. You can put Stop Leak in the radiator - sometimes this stuff works wonders, but I don't recommend this in your situation. Get it fixed ASAP. If you neglect your cooling system, you will eventually have to buy a new engine. All kinds of reasons for a cooling system leak from $10 repairs to several hundred dollars.

How do you mean it leaks from the block? If its a freeze plug that's not expensive. If its a head gasket(much more common) that could be $500 to $2,500 depending on your make. They sell sealant to fix leaks but I would not recommended them as the can cause long term problems best to fix it now.

Uh, it'd help to know what kind of car it is. As some water pumps are in the block, In the front of at least. And have leak hole that look like is coming from the block.
