Default 99 suburban coolant leak

I have 99 suburban rwd 5.7. I have replaced the water pump which took care of the leak at the front. Now have a very steady leak from above the oil filter. Freeze plug and motor drain plug are both secure. Any suggestions?

Could be a few things, hopefully not the head gasket. I'd clean it off good, put some cardboard under the motor and see where it might be leaking from.
