Default help coolent leak

Im not quite sure were to post this question, but i guess i cant go wrong here.. 3 days ago i started smelling coolent after i got done driving. I poped the hood but I couldnt see anything but I could smell it real bad. I thought it might have been my water pump but it seems to be working fine. When my friends water pump went out it started making all kinds of sounds. I look on the ground under the car and didnt really see any spots on the ground but then I look up under the car and i saw that the bottom of the motor and oil pan had coolent on them. I still have a normal level of coolent in the tank. and my cars not running to hot. I think it might be just a hole in a hose. What do u guys think?

I think you should get a pressure ester and pressure test it, cost ya like 10-15 for a cheap one and it will last ya forever.

a friend of mines waterpump was leaking like hell, and it didn't make a sound at all
so he had his replaced, but it was on warranty
so you can rely on sound alone
