Hi there,

The first thing you must do is have the cooling system pressure tested, this will locate any external leaks, when that is done and you have located the leaks, re post your findings for more advice on what to do.

These motors had a common problem of intake manifold gaskets going bad. You may or may not have this condition.

The first thing you need to do is locate the leak. Visually look on the motor above the coolant puddle. Sometimes pressure testing the system makes it easier.

Don't blow your engine, find it.
