You MAY be meaning on top of the transmission bellhousing. That would be the coolant temp. sending unit or the coolant outlet return hose to the radiator or the O-ring that is on the black plastic adapter that is mounted to the head by two screws. Anyway, get one of those mirrors on a stick, and look underneeth that black part and hose and sending unit for signs of coolant loss. If there is...simply remove the leaking part and tape the threads or replace the sender, repair the hose or tighten the clamp or remove the two screws and twist back and forth while pulling strait out on the black plastic adapter. Then replace the O-ring. Be sure to "BURP" the coolant system when refilling the coolant. To burp the thing,leave the cap off while letting it get to operating temp. .... It may help to have the car on a SLIGHT slanted surface with the driver side being higher than the passenger side so the air in the head can leave the head easier.
