Default Coolant leak Help!

I have a 1995 SC400 with 160,000 miles. It seems to have developed a coolant leak somewhere near the left front of the engine. I took the plastic belly pan off and I can see the coolant dripping from the area around the oil filter housing and coming from somewhere up above. I have checked all the usual hoses and have taken the top of the left timing belt cover off but still can not see where it is leaking. Based on where I see it leaking out the bottom and seeing no leaks on top, I am assuming it is coming from somewhere behind the left cam gear. Someplace that is covered up by all the plastic pieces parts. Can someone shed some light on this problem?

Moved for ya.

No water behind the cam gear. The oil cooler is water cooled. Maybe
the cooler or 1 of the hoses? Head gasket is above that.

I'll check the oil cooler/hoses, if I can see it. It is a steady drip so it seems I should be able to spot it. Wish there wasn't so much @**&!! stuff in the way...but then it wouldn't be a Lexus.
