Unhappy i just love the smell of coolant

ok guys in the past 2 days ive smelled coolant whenever i drove my car 96 3.8 bird. yesterday checked the fluid level, it was a little low not anything drastic or anything major. so i figure everything is fine. drive it today still smell the coolant. i go with my buddys to the gym and when i come out i notice a fresh puddle of coolant under my car. i get back to my house and grab a flashlight to see whats up. i cant really tell much but the coolant is dripping onto the skid plate and from what i can see right now it looks like its comming from right above the oil pressure sending unit and by the crank pully. but im not sure yet i gotta give a more in depth check in the morning. you guys got any ideas from what i have given you?!?

also the cars operating temp is normal and i checked the radiator today and it was significantly lower than yesterday. help please
