If its the coming from behind the cover the only thing i can think of is the water pump leaking, its a timing chain on this engine and not a belt, mine was in not long ago for a leaking power steering pipe, it had come off completely from the pump, is it oily or watery if you know what i mean ?.

The anti freeze will leave a greasy stain, has the expansion tank emptied any or the power steering tank.
