check the radiator hoses, radiator, around thermostat, freeze plugs, heater core hoses... The drain is on the bottom of the radiator on the driver's side. Also, if you can, get a pressure tester at a parts store. Most will lend them to you. With the engine cold, remove the radiator cap, screw on the hand held pump, and pressurize the system. Check for leaks when under pressure. It there is a leak, that is when you will find it.
