I put water in coolant box after cooled off to see where it was coming out. Don't exactly know how to get to it.

If you want help you have to communicate effectively what the actual issue is in a concise, no BS fashion. A couple of incoherent sentences is just as bad as a flowery 2000 word paragraph that reads like it was written by a Valley girl

If you're trying to check the hoses, take out the intake box, battery and battery tray. That will give you a lot more visibility down below. Otherwise lift the car and remove the undertray (but make sure to put it back on after, it's an active component of the cooling system).

You can also remove the front wheels and look at the side of the engine, there is a coolant plug in the block on the driver's side.

Hope that helps.
