Also, are you sure it's coolant, and not some other kind of fluid?

Looks like brake fluid to me. Check lines or reservoir for any cracks.

its antifreeze. the liquid is green on the ground... only leaks sometimes this morning i filled the radiator and reservoir and nothing today. but when it leaks it leaks alot. all my hoses are dry. the only spot thats wet is there. i cant see how it could be the water pump cus the water pump is covered by the plastic protector. today im gonna take the valve cover off and the plastic cover to look at the water pump. Man this is annoying as hell if its the water pump ill be happy if not i swear i dont know where its coming from. it trickles all under the chassis. and even has sprayed up to the break booster. i thought at first it was brake fluid too cus it was dripping off the breakbooster but the liquid on the ground is neon green. its ANTIFREEZE! AND IM GETTING FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!

FOUND THE SUMBITCH!!! it WAS a hose coming from the intake manifold. it wouldnt drip off the hose cus the hole in the hose was so small but it was spraying out high pressure then a ******. Didnt think to check the manifold hoses and when i did they were dry. plus the hole was on the back side out of site. THANKS H-TECHERS probably would have taken me another week to figure that out!
