Default 3rd coolant leak

2007 XK 82k miles

Well I have my 3rd coolant leak in the last 2-3 months. First was the radiator, 2nd was the coolant assembly(octopus) and now this. I have put pressure to the system but can't feel the where the coolant is coming from. It's at the front of the engine and ends up leaking on the engine side of the oil filter. It's not any of the hoses and tstat and housing are new as well. It's so dirty around the water pump I can't tell if it's that or not. Is there anything else at the front of the engine that could leak outside of the water pump?

I'm tired of working on coolant leaks. I'm ready to start getting all of my front bushings changed out.

You can put dye in the system and check for leaks with an ultra violet light>

. After the dye is placed in the coolant or engine oil........is it necessary to have the coolant flushed or the engine oil changed to remove the dye?
