The leakage can come from a water hose, or the water pump or a front freeze plug.
Hello, that sounds like the water pump is gone bad. If you are looking at the front of the motor, on the left side close to the center of the engine that is where the water pump is located. It is driven by the belt and it circulates the water from the radiator to the engine. The water is pumped out of the engine to the radiator, which cools the water and then its goes back into the engine. I would recommend running the engine very little, and check the water in the radiator 3 times a day until you can get it fixed. DO NOT let the motor run hot. You can cause serious engine damage if you do.

What causes your engine to burn antifreeze?
Your car shouldn't "burn" antifreeze. If it actually is "burning" antifreeze then chances are you have a blown/leaking head gasket or possibly a cracked engine block which allows antifreeze to enter the combustion chambers. If your antifreeze is just disappearing then it is probably leaking out from somewhere. Possible leak areas to check out would be the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump, and the heater core. Most of the time if the heater core is leaking you'll be able to smell the antifreeze inside the car while the engine is running and the heater is on.
