2001 9-3 Viggen Coolant Leak

I've been chasing a coolant leak on my Viggen for over 2 years now. I've had the following done:
Heater core hoses
Upper Radiator Hose
Lower Radiator Hose
Both Expansion tank hoses
expansion tank
"U" shaped hose
Thermostat
Thermostat Housing
Water Pump
I can run it all day long and no leak. It sits overnight in my garage and it leaks half the expansion tank. The leak is coming down off of the transmission onto the frame rail below the expansion tank. Lastnight I took it to the car wash and cleaned that side of the engine and as it sat overnight I see coolant on the serial number plate on the transmission. I'm lost as to where this can be now. The only two things in that area that remain to be replaced are the coolant pipe and possibly the head gasket?
I've dumped so much $ into this Viggen my brain hurts. I love the car....it is 3 door black on black.
Can someone point me in a possible direction?
