If it’s full of antifreeze and it’s running it will flow out like a waterfall. I cannot find where it is coming from.

There is a heater hose tube that runs under the intake manifold that can rot out due to rust and cause a leak like you have described which is common. The intake must be removed to fix the leak. Here are the instructions on how to do so. Here is the heater hose tube I am talking about. Also check out this video which can help walk you through the repair:
