You can jack the vehicle up, using jack stands and wheel chalks, and try to trace the leak upwards from its starting point. It could be a hose, water pump, thermostat, heater hose, head gasket.
You can go down to your local parts store and ask them to pressure test it or you can buy some dye to add to your coolant and again trace it to the beginning. Be careful not to burn yourself around the hot engine or coolant. If your vehicle has already overheated (temperature in the red) take it to a shop. Good luck

Well you'll really want to find the leak, my guess is that it's coming like right out of your hoses and your just not seeing it, but you'll need to find that hose or that leak and it might travel on ya cause it's a little viscous so it'll travel off a hose or something but run it and drive it for like a few feet and if it all leaks out then find where it's leaking from... And when you've found it and have no clue then post a more explanatory problem...

The coolant reservoir cap is not doing its job. It is designed to open and let pressure escape at certain higher temperatures, but it has already finished its useful life. Change it for a new one with same pressure rating.
I had an Opel that did this.

Could be a busted freeze plug or hose to the engine/heater core.

You have to look, no one will be able to tell where it's leaking from by guessing.

Could be a leaking freeze plug. Anyone answering this is purely speculating. Your car needs to be inspected
