coolant leak...help

So I have a coolant leak I can't seem to find. when I am parked on the street in front of my house it seems to be coming from the passenger side (my street leans the truck to the pass side). but then sometimes when on more flat ground it seems like maybe the somewhere in between the driver and pass side but maybe closer to the driver side. I need some ideas on where I should be looking for this leak. It's a pretty good constant drip.

Look at your EGR cooler, do you have a blue or orange hose?
