cooling system problem

02 camaro 3.8 motor... driving back from giving my buddy a ride the temp jumps to ~250, and once i park theres a trail of coolant that followed me. its a pretty heavy leak.

i filled the radiator the other day and its mostly gone it looks like...i have no clue where its leaking from, theres a mess of coolant near the belts, and dripping looking like its coming from under the motor. the top and bottom hoses on the radiator seem fine, theres no leaking coming from the water pump im going to guess the heater core lines? i cant seem to find a diagram online does anyone have one? or can anyone offer some help
