When you go into the cave go down the path. There is another quest you can pick up if you go to the left. You'll find Zenn Foulhoof if you take the path to the right.

For those like me who had trouble finding the location:

From Lor'danel, take the bridge near the flightmaster that leads South. At the road, turn left (East). Then you will cross a small bridge. After the small bridge turn right (North) and proceed overland (watching out for the bears). Proceed to 56.2, 27.2, where there are two torches, and a path going up a cliff and to the right. Follow this path as it leads along the cliff to the right until you come to some crates with two torches beside them (56.2, 29.6). The path turns left there and takes you further up to the cave and waterfall, which are at 56.8, 31.2. You will see a Grell or two as you approach.

Here's a map to show approximately where you find the trail up the cliff:

To get this quest to become available, I did the following:

Threat from the Water - I don't know that you actually need this, but I did it first.
The Last Wave of Survivors - This opens up these quests:

The Buzzbox 413 quest turns into this chain:

The Corruption's Source opens after Buzzbox 723 is turned in. You do not have to do A Cure In The Dark.

Inside the waterfall is a cave. There's vile grells there that drop foul ichor. Also Zenn Foulhoof is in there.

Lore behind this quest:
After an Alliance hero gives Zenn a "snack", he still goes for his evil ways. One day, he was caught casting perverse magic and was driven here to taint all of Darkshore and corrupt its wildlife, too. So the hero yet again most likely, is tasked to dealing with Zenn once and for all. This quest was added with the Cataclysm expansion during the levels 1-60 major revamp. He is also located in Teldrassil as a level 7 friendly Alliance player who has them kill harmless animals and is given a poisonous fruit.

The cave is full of copper nodes for the miners.

The Corruption's Source

Kill Zenn Foulhoof and 8 Vile Grell in Cliffspring Hollow.

	Zenn Foulhoof slain (1)
	Vile Grell slain (8)

Description

I rushed here as soon as I heard the news from Wizbang. I know who's behind this mess now. Zenn Foulhoof.

He came over from Teldrassil after he was chased out for performing perverse magics. The kinds of corruption he employs are not welcome among my people, and it seems he's taken it a step further this time, perhaps as some form of revenge.

Zenn's been given too many chances, it's time we remove this threat to all that is natural. Kill Zenn and his minions, and then find me back in Lor'danel.
