Check hoses, water pump area, virtually anything that has to do with coolant.

Easiest way to find a coolant leak is with a
"cooling system pressure tester.."


You can probably borrow one from an auto supply
if they have a loan a tool program or maybe a radiator shop..

Make sure to get the adapter to fit the radiator also..

X2 your other choice is to top up coolant then run car at idle and see if you can see where the leak is coming from but the pressure tester is the best way to go.
