Antifreeze Leak

Please bear with me as I do not know the correct parts names.
It would appear I'm leaking antifreeze from my crankshaft and/or where the transmission joins the engine. The area is right behind the oil filter, going towards the firewall. The lower radiator hose, driver's side. has a drip in it's center that appears to be coming from the end that connects to the engine. The car does not run hot all the time, it's rather sporadic, although it has never reach the red line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

get your hands on a cooling system pressure tester. it will help you pinpoint where your leak is coming from. im kind of confused as to where you say its coming from. is it the front of the engine? there is a little hole on the water pump where coolant will leak out of when the pump is bad. it will often follow its way down the lower radiator hose or down the engine and look like its coming from somewhere else. check it out
