Coolant Leak on hyundai

Hyundai santa fe, 2002, 312k miles, 2.7L and.
My radiator leaked and engine over-heated.
Replaced everything in cooling system and no leaks.
However, a small drip has now shown up 1week later, coming from behind valve head and going down by oil filter. Only drips about a cup or two then stops.
Is this a head gasket leak or poss a crack and how to tell?
No water in oil showing up.

Thanks. Transverse mounted engine and have to remove valve covers and more to even see area.
Then won't be able to run engine.
So, I guess I'm up a creek.

Do you see the coolant leaking from behind the Air Conditioning compressor by any chance?
If so, its most likely water pump leaking
Hyundai engineers machined a passage way in the timing cover area so when the water pump goes bad, the coolant leaks out the rear weep hole and not out the front onto the timing belt
Still need to verify this as HT mentioned.
Here is a video that gives you a visual of what I'm taking about

Yeah, Chrysler did that too on one of their engines. The weep hole was all the way on the side of the engine next to the T-stat and everybody thinks the T-stat is leaking only to find out after replacing it that it was the water pump.
