Hello,

Are you able to see where the leak is coming from?

A coolant leak can come from several components. It could be the radiator, the hoses, thermostat housing, water pump etc.
You need to visually check to see if you are able to observer where the leak is form.

Here are couple of helpful articles to get you started:
