There are a coupe up hoses that run behind the intake manifolds that are very common leak points. These hoses allow the coolant to flow inside the vehicle so the passengers can have heat. Consider hiring an experienced technician like one from YourMechanic who can come out and take a closer look at the coolant leak for a detailed estimate on the repairs.
