Default Mystery Coolant Leak.

Been trying to chase down a coolant leak coming from the front of the motor... Any help? Here is a list of parts I changed already:

Coolant pipe (under manifold)
Coolant hoses
no leaks from the radiator
Silicone water hoses (inlet & outlet)

Any help?

Only other thing I can think of on the front is the profile gasket. Witch means pulling the head. It sits under the head in front of the head gasket.

2/19/16 update:

Found the issue, the thermostat was held and secured by silicone someone put on after it was intact. I took the old one off and cleaned the $H*T out of it by removing the silicone and other stuff off the front seal. once that was done I didn't "over tighten" anything like that. Also the water pump someone decided to strip 1 of 4 bolts and I attempted to helicoil the new one in place and it held so next what I will do is time insert once I rip it apart again.

For now, no leaks I am still praying for now.
