I have a coolant leak coming from behind the back leftside of the engine(when standing on the passanger side) . I removed the passanger side tire and wheel well and can see no cooling lines. We had the head gasket replaced at approx. 80000 miles. Could this be the same problem or am I missing something. This is leaking pretty good. The oil is not cloudy and the level has remained the same. Any ideas or suggestions could be great.

Inspect water pump, inspect coolant resevoir (if located in that area), also (if the coolant isn't a straight drip down) see if you can follow the leak upwards into a different area. If the leak is from a hose, it may run down onto other components before dropping to the ground, tricking the eyes.
