Most likely the freeze plugs on back of motor, sucks because you have to pull the tranny to replace them.

Any pictures?
I set my camera on the close up setting and started snapping pictures from all over the engine. My coolant leak ended up running down the oil pan next to the bolts then down driver support strut that goes between the engine and the transmission. The pictures showed me that it originated at the timing cover.
