Coolant leak

I just noticed I have a small coolant leak. I have coolant on the bottom of my powerstearing pump and the right/bottom of my motor. I check the pump but it is dry and the wetness starts just to the right mostly by the engin ground steering gearbox and powerstearing pump. I also checked all the plumbing for the coolant and nothing. I see a plug just above what I think are fuel lines right by the ground. Is this a coolant plug of some sort?

did you check the weep hole very closely if its only weeping a small amount it will get thrown to the right side of the motor (looking at it) . another spot is the lower extension gasket where the lower hose connects.
