Let me tell basically the places it could be leaking. If it inside the car then the heater core is probably bad. Check the radiator, the top, and bottom coolant hoses. The bottom hose will coming from your water pump. The hoses or the water pump could be leaking (if the pump is leaking then it will have to be replaced). There is a thermostat that could leak if not properly installed. This will be located, under a housing, at the point your top hose enters the engine. There will also be two hoses going toward the fire wall. These are the in and out hoses for the heater core. Theses could also be leaking. You could always get a UV light kit and put dye in the coolant and trace it that way also. (This in my opinion is the easiest method.) Well, I hope you find it. Good luck.
