03 leaking coolant

i have an 03 sd
arp head studs egr cooler delete

i have been driving it a few months now after we did the head gaskets...
now have developed a water leak that i cant find
its coming from the right side of the upper part of the motor.
I can only see it when i crawl under the truck, cant see it from the top...
i have checked my short hose from the oil cooler housing to the the egr cooler delete tube and that seem to be fine....i am hoping its not a cracked head or a bad head gasket..i just replace those things this past november
and if i'm not mistaken there is no water ports in the intake on the back of the motor

Also there is no water laying in the valley of the motor...
also dont believe its a freeze plug

Anyoner else seen this at all to know what ity could be?

Heater valve? Maybe the cross over line from degas? (runs along fire wall)
