The inside part is the heater hose or heater core. If it's leaking from the bottom of the reservoir, you just have a hole in it and need a new one.
First, replace the heater hose, thermostat, radiator cap and flush the cooling system. If that doesn't cure it, replace the heater core and water pump. The last thing would be the radiator. Hopefully it won't go that far.

By the amount of places that your coolant system is leaking from it sounds to me as if you may have a blown head gasket or a cracked head.
From cold, fill up the radiator to the top, (at the cap on the radiator) and start the car. If you see bubbles, that's what the problem is.
If not, you may have a faulty pressure cap that is allowing the coolant to boil. Either way have a mechanic check it for you. They have pressure guages and pumps to test the integrity of your coolant system.

The heater core sounds like it is leaking. Get that fixed, you don't want to be breathing the coolant mist all the time. It could ruin your health. good luck

It sounds like the heater core to me I would take it to a shop they are very hard to fix on your own. If you do not have it fixed soon you will most likely not be able to drive for long before it over heats and dies on the side of the road and you will not have heat in the winter... Good Luck
