Coolant leak

Hello. I have a 2016 clubby s
this morning my husband and I noticed it leaking coolant.
he removed the under engine cover and discovered a steady drip from behind the oil cooler/oil filter.
we removed the air filter housing and the radiator brace and can not see any leaks, or broken hoses from above.
can anyone please give me an idea where to check for where the leak may be coming from?
also, a diagram of how the coolant lines run to the oil cooler?
thank you!

Is it coolant? Is it colored?

If its clear and tasteless, it could be air conditioner condensation, thats the area it drips.

If it is coolant, and not seen underhood, it could be you heater core.

tvpostsound,

it is definitely anti freeze, it’s blue tinted and when we add it to the overflow bottle it drains right into the driveway.

the leak appears to be coming from the front of the engine in the area of the oil cooler.
the coolant is dripping down along the block.
