Have a read through this: http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314376&highlight=coolant Needless to say you are parked until it is fixed.
Take fan off 4 nuts take fan shroud off and if u can borrow a coolant pressure tester pressurize system u should b able to c leak if no tester run engine without fan and shroud but no longer than a few minutes or overheating may occur there's two hoses obove water pump that is the return water from radiator ( I think ) they may have hole in them or corroded alloy housing also water pump has a hole underneath it water may be coming from that may as well replace it if water pump feels rough ( worn bearings ) good luck
If you can't really see the leak from top of the engine, it mind be worth taking off the bottom splash trays and refilling with bright green coolant.. It should drip when at rest after a run if its a major leak and with the bright green coolant should be easier to spot hopefully from under car.. Plus if it drips on the ground the splash tray won't catch it so you should be able to approximate location from drip marks on concrete surface, etc if your lucky the drip gets to the ground. I've noticed I have a minor leak on one of my radiator hoses, only noticed since I saw a bright green drip forming on a lower structure while working under my car for other stuff. Also coolant forms white residue marks after it dries so keep an look out for those indicators on surfaces.
