If you look under the coolant reservoir you will see a line that branches off and then goes behind the motor, just follow that to the turbo. There is a piece of coolant hose between to metal lines that is known to become brittle after time and that is on the passenger side. There are also copper crush washers that seal the coolant lines where they attach to the turbo. Check to see if your turbo is wet or dry too.

Finally had the time to look around the engine bay today. The weird thing is, it had stop leaking. I couldn't find anything wrong at all. Everything is bone dry. Sometimes I think the car is just toying with me. One moment there's electrical problems, odd sounds, ramdom leakages, things that suddenly stop working, and the next it just all goes away. It's quite fusterrating sometimes.

It may be due to the recent temperature drop that the leak has stopped.
I forgot to mention water pump as the source of the leak. You can easily check the water pump just by removing the 12mm bolt from the timing belt cover and wiggle it upward to remove it. This exposes all timing belt components, as well as the water pump which is on lower-left of that area. See if there is residual coolant; you should see green (may be of different colour) fluid there.
And yes, the expansion reservoir is known to leak with age.
