Unhappy Help! Coolant is leaking everywhere under the hood!

Hey guys, new H2 owner here and am 3 days into my H2, today the H2 decided to leak Dex-cool everywhere. We ended up replacing the larger hose that runs along the top of the fan cover into the radiator, so the hose isn't leaking, but, somewhere it is still leaking (well, pouring everywhere is more like it). Has anyone else had this problem before? I've been looking everywhere for this supposedly massive leak and cannot find where it is coming from!

Cold throwing parts at something isn't the way to fix it. Fill up the coolant and pressurize the system. Its not like the motor is jammed in a shoebox. You can see everything.

Coolant goes through the radiator, waterpump, block, throttle body, heater core and overflow.

Don't forget to check your fittings too. When I bought mine I drove it for over a month before I started smelling coolant. Turns out the hose clam wasn't seated at all at the radiator but was tight enough on it's own to work for sometime until the summer heat finally worked it so at high temps it would spray coolant out in a mist that made it difficult to see exactly where it was coming from.
