If right behind the fan, you have a bad water pump. It also could be the coolant bypass hose, which is a short small hose just above the pump and slightly to the driver's side. It connects the head to the block. These go bad frequently.

Water pump has a hole in the bottom that lets coolant out when seal goes bad. Get a new pump and mentioned bypass hose, best is a piece of heater hose cut to size from local parts store. Easy ay to change that hose as you install it on head or pump before putting pump in.
