Default coolant leak (update)

i have a slight coolant leak on my car, looks like it is coming from the back of the engine, but there are no coolant hoses near the leak so im not sure if it might be head gasket?

any way, is there a product that you can put into water to seal any leaks in the system?

any help appreciated

cheers

i now believe the leak is coming from a leaking core plug, can i get something to seal this leak from the outside?
