Coolant leak
I've had a decent coolant leak for a while. When I had the front of the engine tore off to replace the HPOP a couple of months ago, I went ahead and replacet the water pump while I was there hoping that it was just the O-ring for the pump leaking. No such luck. Yesterday I finally had access to a cooling system pump to pressurize the system and look for the leak. I cranked it up to about 18psi when I started seeing a steady drip. I still can't see where it is coming from though. It's on the drivers side of the motor, and wherever it is coming from myst be just above the little block of steel just above the oil pan where the ground cable bolts to the motor. Because the drips actually look like they are coming out of the ground wire. at 18psi, I was getting about 1 drip per second. I cant get a line of sight to figure it out. Any ideas??

You sure the top hose where it connects to the thermostat housing does not have a pin hole in it and spraying back that direction?
I have seen that same sign on mine but never figured it out until I changed the pump.
