Default Antifreeze gone?

I cant tell if theres a leak or what. I have no puddles or even drips. Ive let the car run and looked for drips but no luck. It doesn't over heat but obviously gets a little hotter when its running and just sitting still. The car engine seems to be very hot though.. Ive looked all around the engine and the hoses seem to be damp.. ive tried to smell em and there really isnt a smell to them. also sometimes ill see parts of the engine compartment with spots of something wet.. assuming its antifreeze? I can also see some antifreeze underneath the belts looks like its sitting in a part of the frame.. if that makes sense. I dont believe its leaking out of the radiator..

Any suggestions?

No smoke at all. I did find a drip today under the driver side, looks like its coming from the water pump?

There are also elbows that like to fail on the passenger side too.

If you can't find it, get the system pressure tested so the leak can be found
