Coolant Leak

Hey guys just bought a 96 z28 and realized i have a small coolant leak. The check engine and low coolant light is on and dont go away no matter what i do. You can kind of smell the antifreeze burining....what could be leaking?

Are there any spots in the driveway or puddles underneath where you park? Is it wet on the floor on the passenger side floorboard?

Freeze plugs maybe? does it only do it when you've run the car for a little bit or do you smell it all the time?
