The only thing I can suggest is coolant from the thermostat area making it's way there, difficult to say from the pics, do you have a usb camera? That would be better for poking around in places.

Have you tied a small mirror on a telescopic rod ???
I have one and it's proved useful quite often with problems like yours. |

That looks like the bottom of the rear timing belt cover on the LH bank. There are lots of coolant hoses in that region. I can't wait for the next photo!

The photographs is back to front so I've reverses this one to make it look like it looks to me - I'm under the car looking up and it's on the left, so right side of the engine when looking into the engine bay normally. With the bonnet shut I can see that just above the manifolds is wet all the way along. It looks like the car is on a slight incline so it's rolling down toward that belt cover and dripping down. Which gasket am I looking at here?

I also still get a release of air and a whiff of petrol when I open the coolant tank...
