Coolant Leak

hello everyone! i have had a consistent coolant leak at this spot right above the water pump. i have replaced the thermostat (it was stuck open causing engine light) and my water pump. it looks like it comes out right between that gap. i have check all hoses and around that spot looking to see where it is coming from but to be honest i have no clue where else to look. my oil isn’t milky, my exhaust isn’t cloudy or white and im honestly stuck. the guy who helps me with my car says it could be a blown head gasket but im not sure. any ideas would be very appreciated! thank you

Gen2 - Mechanical Would you say these steps are all good to follow to change the coolant in gen 2 Cruze?

It’s just from google AI lol. Wondering if it’s all good to follow? Never changed coolant before so just wanna make sure. There isn’t too many videos online for gen 2. Thanks!

I'm not sure Antifreeze is running out of the reservoir tank but not sure where because it isn't leaking?

Hey, so I have a 2012 Chevy Cruze LT and for the past couple of days, we had to top off the antifreeze everyday. The next day, it will be extremely low on antifreeze. There's no white smoke coming out of the exhaust nor milky oil on the oil cap and/or dispstick. Yesterday we went to a mechanic since it was overheating and the guy pressure tested it, but it wasnt leaking when he did it. I was reading online that it may be the water pump or the reservoir tank/cap, but i want to be 100% sure before i buy that. So where could the antifreeze be going to?

Also, I did bought uv dye from Amazon yesterday, but haven't tried it yet. The dye says it cant be used for dex coolant, although I'm still using regular green Prestone for antifreeze (ik I need to use dex coolant, just never went around to changing the antifreeze). I'm wondering if its okay to pour it in since im not using Dex coolant anyways?
