Had the same, look around the water pump, I had a very slight leak that was difficult to spot as the fan blew the water down the side of the block (talking 4l I-6 here)

Have a look at the row of core plugs behind the exhaust manifold. There's also one on the back of the head and one on the back of the block behind the flywheel.
