Coolant Leak

I did a search of the archives and could not find a similar post, so I will try a new post.
Coolant is dripping from the bottom of the engine; it is dripping from the bottom front side of the oil pan. The leak does not seem to be coming from the water pump since it is dripping from the drivers side of the engine. Looking from the top I cannot see where it might be seeping from. I know it is not coming from the thermostat housing, and it is not coming from the radiator, or an errant hose. It leaks only when the car is running. When I turn it off it drips for a few minutes and then stops. even when the car is on it drips, but it is rather steady. I have to put in a quart or so of fresh coolant with every 30-50 miles of driving. Any Ideas?
