Default coolant leak

hello all first post on scoobynet for me i was recomended this site from mark @ lateral so i hope you guys can help.
basically i own a 1995 jdm wrx and up untill now ive had no real problems with her untill a couple of days ago i noticed some dry coolant on the o/s of the sump (as your facing the car) and just right of the sump there is a oil cooler pipe which has a 45deg rubber join coverd in coolant so i bought a new hose and replaced it but the leak is still there so im thinking now its got to be leakin above that but i cant see anything coz the bloody manifolds there can anybody send me a pick of this location if buy chance you have one possibly during a rebuild or somthing so i can get an idea on wot im looking for

might be worth a check around radiator,it is quite common for the end caps to develop hair line cracks and spray out when under power.it could of sprayed back on to sump?
