Default help: 2000 xjr leaking coolant

Help!

I borrowed a pressure tester from autozone and confirmed there is indeed a coolant leak on my 2000 XJR.

It seems it's coming from the engine housing somewhere. I can't find the source of the leak. Please help. I've included pictures below.

Can someone identify the source of this leak? Is there a water hose under there or the water pump sealant is leaking?

Ok, added a youtube video for the 2000 XJR coolant leak for better diagnostics.
My vehicle mechanical rating is up to 3/10 after getting this jaguar and still learning.

Just a guess, but it could be the hoses under the blower, as I found out. Major pain, but I used the opportunity to change all the hoses and water pump. I felt really good about it, and then my kid ran into a curb a couple of days later, cleaning the right front wishbone off the frame. I think the car is going to be totaled. Too bad. A lot of work went into it.
