Default Mystery coolant leak 2004 RX330(58,000 miles)

Last 5 weeks noticed small coolant leaks on driveway and also find coolant droplets on underside of front plastic cover under engine between front wheels.Dealer did a quick check under car and could find no evidence of leak. Coolant (original equipment red liquid) level seems o.k. and I am keeping an eye on it. I am sure it is not transmission oil because the drops are watery although the consistency of each fluid is similar.

Any help would be appreciated with this issue. Guess I may have to pressure check the vehicle and maybe look at water pump/timing belt replacement but don't want to go to this expense until I am sure where the leak comes from..

Check around the water pump area as well.

The weak spot of the radiator is at the bottom similar to what is shown in the picture found on the following thread:
