Maintenance/Repairs

Hi, there!
I have a 2015 Volvo. I have recently been noticing the coolant has been slowly depleting (I have had to add a little now and then) and sometimes after a lengthy drive I will smell a hot sweet smell under the hood. I understand I have a coolant leak. I have not noticed white smoky exhaust, and the oil is a normal oil colour. I do not have any wet patches beneath the car. I have seen what appears to be coolant pooling in this location (highlighted below with red arrows).

Obviously I need to get this taken care of before the leak gets any worse. Can anyone advise me based on the location where this leak might be, and whether it is likely to be a water pump, a hose, or…really, what I might be expecting when I take it to a shop?
