For 4 cyl coolant pipes are not that difficult to repair so the cost should not be too expensive.

You need to locate the source and most often it is a hose that is leaking.

I would only add that a cooling pressure test is a cheap way of pin pointing any external coolant leak, all work shops can do this simple test.
