Engine Cooling problem
2000 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Automatic 130000 miles

MY CAR IS LEAKING WATER TERRIBLY. PUTTING A GALLON IN IT AND THEN 45 MIN LATER WATER LIGHT IS ON AGAIN BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE LEAK AND IT STILL HAS PRESSURE UNDER RADIATOR CAP. ANY SUGGESTIONS? DOES ANYONE HAVE A DIAGRAM OF THE COOLING SYSTEM FOR THIS CAR?

Is it leaking from the heater core (Located under the dash board) if so then the water might be in the floorboard of the car

Most of the cooling system is pretty visible by looking under the hood. The only thing out of sight is the water pump, its under the exhaust manifold. If you can get under the vehicle you'll be able to see it. If it's leaking that much coolant you should be able to easily see it flowing out of the pump, or possibly the lower radiator hose. Also check the heater hoses while you're down there.
