Have you noticed you are low on coolant at all recently or have you noticed any coolant below it?
If you get in there with a light and look closely you may find a whitish, chalky trail from the dried up coolant you can follow up to the leak. You may have a crack in the end tank, usually a plastic tank. You may have a seam leak where the aluminum core is crimped to the end tank or one of the fins might have a hole in it. You need to get in there with a light and see what you can see.
If you still find nothing you might want to get a loaner cooling system pressure tester from an auto parts store. You pump the system up and then hopefully it's leaking enough you can see it.
