Did you check the oil? Color is normal? or looks lighter like coolant is in it? So you got the heat thing going down there.. You can't see where it's coming from. Have you tried revving the engine from the hood. You know.. So you can see where it's coming from (I am sure you did this so just ignore me until someone smarter comes along)..
