not a freeze plug, water pump unlikely i think i would have saw it.
i havent looked real hard but im leaning towards small hole in lower hose got to be simple im just overlooking it.

All the hose clamps on tight? If it's a higher mile car, it could be a leak in the hose from wear.

I would change it and the gasket for peice of mind.

If you still havent found the exact place its leaking rent a pressue checker or buy one and youll find the leak VERY fast.
