Exclamation mystery coolant leak, please help ASAP

got a coolant leak, its actually coming through the bell housing and is dripping down the back of the rear iron somewhere. I cant find the leak. its NOT coming from the LIM, turbo, or any other hoses. could it be a freeze plug :'(?

thanks

Jeff

just to clear a little up...its leaking from the back of the engine, collecting on the bell housing, and dripping through. I took off the view plates (the one on the bottom, and the one on the side) and i can see that the passenger side is wet and the drivers side is dry. one of the tension bolts has some coolant on it.

Why delete? This is a good topic.

I hope you checked all your tension bolts and torqued them to spec. Needless to say, they are not supposed to come loose.
