Antifreeze leaking

ok so i been leaking antifreeze for a while, it's last thing i need 2 get fixed on my car, aside from brake pads on front now.

when we had it up on the lift we seen antifreeze runnin down like on the block... at first the ppl told me it may be freeze plugs, but i talked 2 a different guy and he said that he didn't think that my engine had freeze plugs up there... and he looked thru his books and he said that they didn't show the plugs there either.

for a while i thought maybe a head gasket... not sure.

ANY ideas where i should start will be GREATLY appreciated. wanna get shit fixed so my dad will get off my ass, so i can start modding again.

The radiator hoses would be the first thing to check. Both of them go into the front of the engine above where you see coolant.

Also the water pump is on the front of the engine above that area.

There are also 4 freeze plugs on each side of the block. One each in front and back and 2 on the side up under the exhaust manifolds.
