Default Coolant Leak - thinking gasket

I have an 07 with a Kraftwerks S/C.

It's got a slow coolant leak that I've isolated to the bottom half of the engine. Noticed splatter under the block and along the tranny underneath. Nothing notable above the thermostat housing and a little pooling along the side of the block right beside/behind the housing. I'm assuming it's one of the two gaskets there either worn out or not replaced properly after the S/C install.
Going to be replacing the gaskets really soon because I don't want to burn up the engine, obviously, but my question after doing research:

Billman's bleed method mentions the rear bleeder does not work properly.
The front bleeder on my car has been removed/relocated (not sure where? I'm new to the S/C game and I bought the car as-is).
With that in mind, am I best to just lift the front end and do an old-school burping routine?

can you find the relocated bleeder? It shouldnt be hard to identify whether it's removed or where it is. If you have pictures, it would be appreciated
