[4th Gen : 01-07]: Need help identifying coolant leak--head gasket?

Need help identifying coolant leak--head gasket?
I have 2006 Dodge Caravan SXT. I have two coolant leaks. I did a pressure test and one is coming from the radiator, which I plan on replacing this week. The other is on the top of the engine, and I need help on finding the source. The pressure test did not show any other leak, though I will run it again after I have installed the new rad. But there is coolant occasionally on the engine block at the front below the intake manifold. It is right in the area below the front valve cover on the passenger side. Seems to be on both sides, but is worse on the passenger side. Is there a little gully under the manifold? I have only seen it there twice so far over a period of several weeks. I suspect intake manifold gasket but it is hard to tell. It is in the area just below where the gasket might leak. Another possibility is external head gasket leak but not sure if the cylinder head comes up that far. There are no leaks from upper hose or from heater hoses at the back. Thanks for your advice.
