I had a similar issue on the passengers side. I was able to rent for free a coolant pressure test kit from Autozone. I purchased some UV dye and ran the pressure up to 16psi. The next day, I found a pool of coolant under the passengers side near the rear exhaust port. Turned out, it was leaking up top from the coolant hose that connects near or on the passengers side intake. The hose that runs from the degas bottle to the intake nipple. The hose was cracked just a tiny bit. Save yourself some time, get the UV coolant dye on amazon or at the auto part store and rent a coolant pressure tester. Let it sit over night. Hopefully, your problem will be as easy as mine was. I suspect a leak at or near the degas bottle from a leak on the drivers side.
