Started noticing a coolant leak in the driveway and its leaking from above the rear part of the engine on driver side where i can’t see the leak. It leaks down and puddles above the starter then runs down around the transmission bell housing. Anyone had a leak in this location and know where it might be coming from?

It could be leaking from somewhere else and running to that spot before draining off onto the driveway. Liquid will often migrate to a lower point before draining off. The source of a leak is often not directly above the puddle. Thinking logically about this, I would check all hoses, hose attachment points, and water pump weep hole. Also check around the intake manifold. Are you sure it's coolant?
