usually coolant leaks come from bad gaskets... or a bad water pump.. i would say drain the system and run water through the radiator (do NOT drive with water in the radiator, your engine will surely overheat!) and see if you can spot where the coolant is coming from... if it is coming from the engine block then you might have bad gaskets.. if not then it's the water pump.

No, you have a leak in the radiator most likely or somewhere in the cooling sysetem. ie a hose possibly. If it is your radiator and dont want to spend the money on a whole new one a simple fix is to go buy stop leak from your local automotive store. If it is a hose a new one is in order, which is not too costly. The reason it only leaks when it is not running is because when it is running the pressure holds the hole shut or pushes something against the hole.
