Anyone experience this type of coolant leak?

So today temperature for the car went up a bit.. Pull over and there was a little puddle of coolant on my transmission. Made it home with the temp back down, but I think it might be coming from the thermostat housing connected to the head? Im doing a pressure test asap, but I was just wondering if anyone has had this or possibly know if it might be something different? Thanks

When my 8 started leaking it was the coolant line coming off of the throttle body that was dripping down onto my tranny. The foam sleeve on the line started to leak, and would only when it was hot so took forever to track down.

Okay I'll check there... Yesterday was humid as hell and like just pissed most of the coolant away so idk. I drove it today, stayed out of boost, but temp stayed the same, wasn't over heating. So im not really sure. Mine seems to be coming from the thermostat housing, just gotta do a pressure test I guess.
