Most likely that vertical coolant line on the rear side housing.

I would say that as well, or you could have had a water sensor leak from the rear of the thermolstat housing.

There's also a coolant line going into the back of the thermostat housing from the rat's nest - could have been from there. Regardless, nasty coolant sat puddled there for a while to make that stain. Clean green coolant wouldn't do that.

Thanks guys I was hoping the engine wasnt leaking, and the coolent is new.
