Default Water (coolant) leak

I have a coolant leak somewhere I haven't been able to find.
The reservoir tank was replaced a couple of years ago (per prior owner) but I have a coolant leak somewhere I haven't been able to find. Nothing seems wet around the tank itself from feeling around the connections and hoses. I get a small damp area somewhere on the right side of the engine near middle from front to back. When having oil changed I was able to look up from below and I could see coolant on a metal pipe at back right of engine up high in engine compartment. I do not think it is the weep hole in the water pump as I felt around that. It looses a cup or two over a few weeks to a months as the light comes on and I had some coolant or water. Seems to be a getting little faster as it is warming up here in Texas. Ideas?
Thanks, John

Tunnel hose leaks are common, you will need a coolant pressure tester, a flashlight and a small dental mirror to find out for sure. Don't put this off, Jaguars hate to be overheated.
