Coolant Leak

Well i changed my oil cooler this past weekend and everything went great

. Other than couldn't get the fan off. I flushed out my radiator and filler tank and now 4 days later i have a Leak somewhere on the driver side of the motor. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe thermostat but i didn't touch it. Could changing the cooler and flushing that stuff out maybe caused it somehow?

I have checked hoses and didn't see anything. What is a Degas bottle? i'm thinking the T-Stat o ring but i didnt mess with the t-stat at all. Would it just start on its own?
