1997 ranger 2.3L Coolant leak

I have a 97 ranger xlt with completely stock 2.3L engine. I keep loosing the coolant and cant seem to locate the leak. My radiator stays filled, its just my reservoir that keeps going empty. The reservoir itself isn't leaking, but it is coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. It typically was only leaking when I used the heat but it recently started doing it all the time. Also ive seen coolant dripping near or underneath the heater coil. Any ideas what it might be? The guy that inspected the truck said he thought it was some sort of sensor on the coolant line near the heater coil but I cant see anything or remember what the senor was called.
