Hello, I'm Danny.
Without seeing the car in person the leak can be coming from different places around the starter. What we suggest to people is perform a cooling system pressure test. You can perform this with the engine cold and turned off. It is basically a pump that pressurizes the cooling system and you can then look around the engine to see where the leak is coming from. Here is a tutorial showing how to perform this test:
