Hello,

Coolant can be leaking from number of areas.
It could be the water pump, also can be any of the houses or the thermostat housing, the radiator or the coolant reservoir.
The coolant system consists of rubber hoses, gaskets and seals which are subject to engine heat and vibration which in time can cause these items to fail and start leaking antifreeze.
You will first need to visually check to see where the leak is coming from.

Here is a helpful article on finding coolant leak:

I have attached the water pump diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
