only two things on that side that i can think of at the moment are lower radiator hose and trans coolant lines.

Hi, did you ever find out what's leaking? I might have the same thing, brought it to chevrolet and they think its engine oil, they put a dye in the oil and I have to drive 100 miles and bring it back in.
