Default Coolant Leak

I need some help to find a coolant leak, if anyone has had one where was it, or are there common places to look. I've got coolant all over my front axel and I can see a drip on the bottom radiator hose. the belt has sprayed it all over the passenger side batt as well. I've tried to look but I don't see any obvious leaks and don't want to replace a bunch of stuff that is fine (like the water pump)

Ditto what James said... Which means water pump time.
