Someplace that is allowing it to hit the fan, which sprays it where you see it now. Hole in a hose or a bad connection. It is somewhere up front though and not a drip. I wouldn't think a drip would hit the fan.

once i took off the air duct as you can see i found the culprit....PO DIDN'T snap the plastic tubing in right slot so it was moving around and eventually cracked open causing the coolant loss all over the place....SMH

. didn't help that POS piping is plastic literally falling apart as i touched it
