Coolant leak from rear of engine

Hi,
I have a 2007, 5.7L, 1500 Ram with 150K miles.
I've started noticing a coolant puddle under the truck, from the rear of the engine. Figured it was the heater hoses on the fire wall. I took a close look there and the hoses are not leaking.
The coolant is drippings from the bellhousing. I can not see a trail of it coming from the top and collecting at the bellhousing. It appears to be from in-between the engine and transmission.
Is this likely a core plug or the head gasket? Anything else back there that I need to check?
There is no coolant in the oil, just did an oil change a few weeks ago and the oil looked fine. Truck runs great, not other issues with engine performance.
Thanks.
