Default Coolant leak

Hello fellow s2k brethren.
My wife greeted me the other morning with the news of my little roadster urinating( lol).
Immediately i went out and there you have it,all my coolant on the ground underneath.
I haven't had time to look at her under carriage yet, so my question is, of what possibilities could cause that?
I've had her for 3months.
2005 with 104k miles.
My speculations are making me think it could be the water pump, radiator hose, radiator itself, or a cracked block.
Furthermore, whenever i fix the issue, i was going to flush it out,and put in new coolant.
So any suggestions, or tips on what to look for, parts, coolant brands,etc.
As my name implies, I love my car, and want to keep her around as long as possible.
Thankyou guys.
-Daniel

You haven't looked for the problem yourself, but you want someone else to list all the possible places for coolant to leak

the possibilities are endless based on your description, put on a set of safety glasses and get under the car once safely supported on 4 jackstands.

yep. Cant tell you, coolant goes too many places. On mine, it leaked from the radiator itself - on the endtank (cracked due to age). Hard to see unless the car is properly warmed up. Other than that, it goes to the engine, TB, heater core... lots of places to leak from.
