Look at the 2 heater hoses at the rear of the engine on the drivers side

Failing that, could be that your thermostat housing is leaking

This is what you dealing with. Good luck.
You got 3 different way to tackle this.
1...Have to pull top half of the engine out (inlet manifold, injector rail etc. etc.)
2...Have to separate the tranny from the engine,
3...Take car to your trusted pro.

Keep topping it up, as the system may still have small pokets of air that are bleeding out
