Post clear pictures showing exactly where you think the coolant is leaking from.

If you have an Advance autoparts store near you they usually have a cooling system pressure tester in ntheir loaner tools section,use that and see where the coolant is leaking from.

Napa sells a block tester for $50 to check if there's combustion/exhaust gas in your radiator. If there is the blue fluid turns yellow. It comes with enough fluid toi check at least 10 cars. Mine was blowing coolant out and overheating and tested positive. Replaced the engine.

welll the guy at advanced was a total dick and wouldn't let me use itt. soo i talked to a nicer guy and he told me what i could do. so i filled the water up and everything and let it run. and there is water in front of the radiator?
