Angry Leaking coolant

It was a hot day here in katy, and i drove for around 20 mintues with the a/c on. While I drive with the a/c on the car temp stays a little over 190 and without the a/c it heats up until the fan comes on. When I was through driving I parked and turned it off. A couple hours later I moved it and saw the orange coolant. I'm wondering why the hell its leaking? I'm about sick of this orange coolant ****, it doesnt even keep my car at a steady temp. What can I do to rid my car of this problem?

could be your weep hole from the bottom of the water pump, if that is the case and left untended, opti is next. good luck

That's where mine was leaking and I replaced the water pump before it killed the opti. I'd suggest if it is the water pump getting that fixed as soon as possible. First check all the lines though, make sure they're all connected and sealed.
