Van listed above is an lx. Notice coolant pooling when van gets hot or running AC. Oil is clean and once the van is cooled puddles disappear.

Hello, I'm Danny.

The best way to find the leak is to do a cooling system pressure check.Basically it's like a bike pump by pressurizing the cooling system with pressure with the engine off.It will visualize where the leak is coming from.Here is a tutorial showing what's involved:

If you don't have access to to a pressure tester most local auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and can rent you one.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
