3VZE coolant leak - pass side
I am pretty familiar with this engine, and I've searched and searched, but can't seem to pinpoint this leak without tearing the AC compressor and everything around it out.
I have a leak somewhere on the passenger side above the AC compressor. Coolant actually drips off the compressor and on to steering linkage.
I can see the freeze plugs through the wheel well, they're dry.
It's just a little trickle, mostly after cold start and quickly shut off, driving me nuts for months now, but no visibility behind the compressor. Any ideas?

I just pulled the tire off so I could really get in there and look, all dry, all round front freeze plug, dry. I can see where the hydraulic timing tensioner bolts up, dry. Wtf...

Actually the drain plug I see, if it is indeed a drain plug, is very close to the front freeze plug. Got a pic of the right side of a 3VZE?
