Coolant system will not hold pressure. Link above is the best shot I could get of the leak.

Any ideas? Is this thing shot?

An idea which may or may not be the cause.

At the front of the engine is a water pump.
Water pumps have a bearing and a seal.
Should the bearing wear out,, the shaft will not be held in place and the coolant will leak past the seal.

Follow the water trail. It will lead to the cause.

BTW the cooling system can not build pressure with a leak.
And as a suggestion if you are going to use the vehicle before the repair, loosen the radiator cap. That way the leak will be reduced.

Thank you! I got the fan and shroud out to get ready for my new water pump coming in. Will definitely keep the cap loosening tip in mind if there seems to be another leak after that’s replaced.
