Default Help finding a coolant leak

Hello, I have been loosing coolant slowly looks like it is coming from the left lower side of the engine. I get the occasional crankcase pressure sensor warning. Any ideas where to look or how to best find root cause?
Thanks

What you show in the photo is an Oil leak.
That would come from the Crankcase.
The code would seem to support it.
The coolant loss is another issue by the looks of it.
Pressure test the Cooling system.
I may only leak when hot or cold depending on the source, depending on expansion and pressure behind it then evaporate.
Look for a Trail left behind.
Good luck.

You might start with a can of Gunk engine cleaner, spray engine, rinse off (don't get wild around electronics). Always easier to track with a semi-clean area.
