Default Name that coolant leak...

So after replacing my leaky coolant flange, I'm leaking less coolant, probably a plus... however I crawled back under and found another leaky spot. Any clue what part it is that's leaking and how to go about fixing? It's on the passenger's side, I provided a zoomed out shot showing the diverter valve for reference... but the views are from underneath. Any advice/answers are appreciated, thanks guys.

If your wife was as hot as his, you'd be too busy for AW, too.

Default well the block is as dry as a bone. there's a semi-steady drip coming off that rubber thing..

I'm re-downloading ETKA as we speak so I can take a look at what's in there.
