Coolant is Spraying! (eeeep)¿

Hey guys, I was taking my new found 7 out for a quick burn (splooge) but then I had the overwhelming smell of coolant inside the car.
So I drove her home and popped open the hood. And there was coolant leaking from the hood once i lifted it up and it obviously sprayed. coolant was drippin around, not lots, but noticeable amounts.

I was pullin the throttle cable lookin for somethin to spurt out but couldn't find anythin for the life of me...

Any ideas where the leak could be? Some hidden area or somethin? Thanks!!!

Unless you have a pressure tester, you just have to fill it and let it run and watch it. If at any point you feel it is not worth blown coolant seals, have it looked at in a shop that knows RX7's
