Best way to find a leak is to top off the system and get the car warmed up. Then drive it for a while at a fast speed (50+) and then pull over and immediately look under the hood for wet spots. The water pump has a weep hole that leaks when the seal goes out. If that happens it will leak behind the pulley and be flung everywhere so check for moisture on the inside of the pulley. Intake gasket leaks are also common on these engines. These would be visible where the intake meets the head. It starts close to where that hose is that has already been pointed out and goes down and back to behind the power steering pump.
