Duratec coolant leak from bellhousing area

Just installed my duratec and I have a small coolant leak dripping from underneath the bellhousing.

I assumed it must be coming from above the bellhousing where the coolant enters the head, so I stripped this all out and resealed.

Filled it up last night and this morning I have a small drip again with no sign of any leak above the bellhousing.

Now I'm trying to convince myself that this must be a drop of the coolant caught somewhere around the bellhousing from the original leak that has found its way out, or is there somewhere on the back of the engine behind the flywheel that it leak from?

Is there a core plug hidden there?

That's what I was wondering but I'm not sure as I can't see with the bellhousing on
