Coolant & Bell housing

Coolant & Bell housing
Ok not much hair left so I am forced to seek the advice of higher powers.
My 95' 3.0, just finished up the valve cover gaskets as it was leaking like a seive. Mechanic said " it's good to go, you don't have a hg issue" . ok,the vc gaskets helped , ALOT! Been checking underneath regulaly. now that all the oil is gone I find a very small drip of antifreeze on the bracket supporting the driver side exhaust pipe, and a small drip just below that running down the bell housing. Also the round cannister that has two water hoses coming from it just below the exhaust manifold is stained with AF. There is also oil seeping out the bell housing at the bottom ( rear main?)
Anyhow I'm at my wits end. I have limited skills and seem to be having great difficulty finding a knowledgeable, honest Toyota mechanic here in Cleveland Oh.
Any insights, suggestions besides getting a Hair Club for men memebership?

The first step I would do is spray it down with some degreaser like purple power and head down to the car wash and spray off all under the engine the sides and anywere you can reach then let it dry.and it should be fairly easy to see where its leaking from.a lil inspection mirror and a flash light helps too
