Default coolant leak

My 1997 A8 is beginning to grate my nerves...last week i replaced the coolant overflow tank because the nipple cracked and leaked fluid. I thought that this was the only cause of the coolant on the floor in my garage. However, there is another small leak from somewhere around the engine block. It is very slight and small, producing only a handful of coolant leakage overnight. I removed the plastic pan under the engine and noticed that the dripping is right on the oil pan. I removed the plastic cover over the engine and could not find any pipes leaking or splitting. It is not a serious problem but I would like to find the source of this small leak...any ideas?
