Default Clucking,clicking sounds driver side?

I have a 99 ls400 curently has 85,000 mile' i been hearing this click,clunck noise on going down drive wat,u turn or over bump it bothers me, i took it to mechanic to have the driver side look at but every thing looks fine, dont see any leaks. What could this be? Mostly coming from driver side. I tried to do search but all kinds of things that it could be, figure i bring this back for open discussion
Thanks

front strut rod bushings for 95-00, and make sure the front subframe bolts are tightened.

What would you expect to see leaking from suspension parts? You aren't going to see if anything is bad just by looking, you need to jack it up, both fronts or both rears, and take a crow bar and try to move everything up and down side to side with lots of force, then you might hear what is wrong. Most common would be the bushings that PD mentioned but check any and all bushings b/c, in your own words; "but all kinds of things that it could be,"
