My car has been leaking a ton of coolant for a while now and I have not been able to figure out the problem. The attached image is where it's leaking coolant from. Then a couple of days ago, anytime I accelerated my car it sounded really rough and would continuously sound really really bad (I'm not even sure how to describe it).

Good morning,

No picture was posted. Can you upload it again? I would start with a pressure test to pin point the leak.

Can you take a video of the noise so I can hear it?

So I did figure out that the coolant issue is the water pump, and the sound is an exhaust gasket that's broken. Thank you so much for your help though!
