You got to find it. Its there waiting for you to pinpoint where its
leaking from. Coolant leaks always leave a telltale path of where it
comes from although not always to find and follow. Its there. Use a
flashlight and a mirror if you have one and take your time in looking. 

Its comming from the back side, is this the belt side or tranny side?
Is it the heater hoses or related hardware that are part of the heater
hoses?

It might help if you can get under the car on a creeper. (I find ALL my
leaks this way. Works for me.)

No. There's no bolt back there that has anything to do with the cooling
system. 8V or 16V?
HTH!
