Radiater leak

Ok, my radiater fluid is leaking somewhere. Me and my buddy (who's not autistic and knows a hell of a lot about imports) can't find out where it's leaking. I've checked all of my hoses, they are fine. The funny part is, it only leaks when the car is running and warmed up. The leak is coming down right behind the oil pan (opposite side of engine). I can't really wedge my self in there to look. 2 weeks ago we pulled out the whole radiater (to take my heat shield off of the manifold) and flushed it out and reintalled it. It ran perfect, what the hell could this possibly be. If no one here know I guess I'll have to take it to the shop and have them look at it monday. And ideas or suggestions?? There is no doubt that it is radiater fluid, just to clear that up.

Maybe a freeze plug on the back of the block.
Try doing a pressure test.
Do they have any "loan a tool" programs at say auto zone or pep boys??

My guess would be a freeze-plug also.
