Out of the reservoir? head gasket kaput? Go to VatoZone and borrow the cooling system pressure tester.

Keep it running and warmed up so pressure builds then watch for leaks. Looks like radiator or one of the tubes might have a slight leak.

I don't see the hose that connects to the top of the reservoir. Is it hooked up? If not that's where the coolant is coming from.

Concentrate on pic #2. You obviously have a leak near your coolant reservoir.

Shouldn't be hard to find with a good light, a pressurized system and putting in some time.
