Default Coolant Leak

Hey guys, new to the forums.
I have been having a small leak a while, which is getting progressively worst. I have been reading other posts and I am pretty confident the leak is not coming from the coolant pump or radiator because the leak is occurring in the rear. However I am still able to get a clear visual of where the leak is. I am at a lost.
Does anyone know anyway to get a clear view, without completely removing the engine?

check around you coolant temerature sensor and around your coolant flange, both common leak areas. there isnt an easy eay really. if you have a 1.8 the sensor is right behind you valve cover
