Default Trying To Locate Coolant Leak - rear oil pan / driver's side bearing cross bolt area

I've got a coolant leak coming from the rear-left lower part of motor. Seems to be emanating from the rear oil pan-block line (mating surface) / left-rear bearing cross bolt area. The truck is a 1996 Disco w/ a 4.6 GEMs motor that I put in a couple years ago.

I am at a loss and have been unable to figure out what this could be coming from. It will not hold any coolant and is thus undriveable. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My GF really misses her truck and I can't blame her. I won't be able to post pics until this weekend.

Thank you,
Allen

head gaskets or there is a freeze plug in the rear of the block, coolant pressure test time.

Go to Walmart and get a $10 UV flashlight.
Go to most any auto parts store and get a $5 bottle of coolant dye.

Honestly, could be leaking from several different common spots or someplace odd. Can't tell from just a picture anyway. Everyone who found a leak will tell you about where their leak was.
The dye is a sure thing.
