i am loosing a lot of coolant after it warms up, then i park it, coolant constantly drips out of the middle part of the bottom of the fan shroud. i have to constantly add water+ coolant so it doesnt overheat driving around town, i was wondering if any of you had a similar problem or possibly know where my leak could be originating from, any feedback will help and i did and will continue use the search button to try to answer this

Id start by checking to see if its dripping from either the uppe or lowwer radiator hose and running allong the radiator untill it gets to the lowest part and drips down. If thats not it Id warm it up untill it starts leaking, let it drip a little then shut it off and look around with a flash light, you should hopefully be able to see the trail of water
