Icon3 B16A2 Coolant Problem!!!!

Need help asap!!!

So i have a coolant problem idk whats happening but i need i diagnosis quick. So my overflow bottle is losing coolant fast, there is coolant on the top of the radiator and some how on the air box. i popped the hood and the coolant on the top was burning off. my temp gauge stay in the center and the car doesnt bog or anything. im not driving hard and its still doing this ****. people are saying water pump and some hose in the back of the block. i think its either the radiator itself or maybe just the cap is gone. i need any kind of input. thanks

Sounds like you have a leak somewhere. Check teh plastic top of the radiator where it meets the folded over metal. It's common for these to start to separate and sometimes it's hard to spot leaks.
