Arrow Coolant leak...

I have a leak. When I was driving the other day my "Low Coolant" warning came on. So I topped it and soon after a little driving it came on again. It does it sooner if I drive faster... Well, I did try to keep an eye on "where" it was coming from, and is really hard to see. Once the car is parked and turned off, it does leave a small water mark. Since the whole engine is covered underneath there is no way to tell exactly where it is from?

So today I took all of the covers off and went for a drive, and I can see Coolant running down from the top of the Transmission...

Has anyone experience this before?

I'm running a thread on same subject where coolant was found towards the rear by transmission. Right now it looks like heater core. Check up front where coolant reservoir is and make sure little hose is not leaking first.

Thanks S03Dude, I just read your whole thread there, pretty helpful, and now I too posted to see if anyone can direct me in the right direction. I do have an STR so the "hose" under the supercharge might be it for me...
