Could be a hole in the lower hose, or it's leaking out of the water pump...

Probably a hose. I don't own a corvette, but my Honda did this and it was a corroded hose. I got lucky actually. I lost a lot of it on the highway on my way back from a wedding. I'm lucky it didn't flood my engine. Anyway, check all your hoses and here is a tip... once on hose goes, it's usually a good idea to go ahead and replace them all. They usually don't cost much, so it might me a good investment. If you check all your hoses and nothing seems to be wrong, take it to the mechanic and have them check other possibilities. Anyway, hope you find what is wrong and good luck!

Hope it is the hose because that is obviously cheaper. If it's throwing out a lot of the coolant, there is a good chance the water pump needs replacing.

Lower hose leak or water out the water vent in the water pump.

Sounds like the water pump or a hose. Take it in and have them pressure check the system.

I'd look at the bottom hose. There are other possibilities, but it is my far the most likely culprit.
