id say more to the fron of the block and under the sump ish.....

my worst fear is that the block is cracking and when the car is warm the crack is opening and when its cold ie. when i try to find the leak there is nothing, i hope it is not this

water pump, look for some crystals below it,

is it 4wd? if so check the small samco between the water pump and thermostat housing,

thermosta housing

check at the rear of the block ex side, goes ofter there, will leave a rusty look to the block
