Try just Isearch.  Search for `(require . cl)' (note the dot).

If you have a library `foo.el' in directory
`/some/dir/somewhere/', where `foo.el' requires
library cl then you'll find a sexp such as this:

 ("/some/dir/somewhere/foo.el"
  ...
  (require . cl)
  ...)

You may well have loaded multiple libraries that
require cl.  You may be interested in all of them,
but the first one is likely the one that loaded
cl.el[c].

(Searching `C-h v load-history' in *Help* is
harder, because it may split `(require 'cl)' across
two lines.)
