Default coolant leak??

I have a 00 prelude with a fast coolant leak under the car, that i cant see were is coming from because i dont have a jack right on hand. and my coolant gauge needle has fell all the way to the bottom. as soon as i pour coolant in, is leaking out underneath the car. the radiator hoses appear to be fine, no leaks. could someone tell me was the problem, or were it could possibly be leaking from? thanks

coulda cracked your radiator or someone could have left the drain plug loose, which eventually lead to it falling out...

make sure the bolts on your intake manifold are tight and all hoses are fresh and tight. It is most likely somewhere on your intake mani if it's coming of motor. I know mine had that problem, one time it was a loos manifold, other time it was a cracked hose going from intake to the block. Check it out and let us know.

i can see were is leaking from now. i think is the drain plug loose on the back of the block, that has got loose somehow. because when i take off, or unscrew my radiator cap then it leaks out faster. since is about all out of fluid, it slows down or stops leaking out however much coolant is left. were do i tighten the drain plug at?
