look in "the valley"behind the alternator/water pump for coolant. it could either be your t-stat housing or intake manifold gasket. well ill say those would be most likely, even though theres tons of other places..

Get under you car and look back by the transmission. I am almost willing to bet you have a cracked intake manifold. It happens alot.

Do you smell it inside the car when turing on the fan? If so you could have a cracked heater core.

no i dont smell it actully after a few doughnuts(showed up to work an hour early by mistake) i found where it was coming from. it seems to be the seal between the water pump and the block i guess. so im going to try and hi-temp expoy for a band-aid then take the water pump off and reseal the area around it.

Look closely and make sure. It could be coming from the weep hole in the water pump which means the pump is going bad.
