the coolant isnt that tricky
go under your car and see if theres grease build up
if there is then power wash the bottom of your car and make sure theres no grease or any fluid for that manner..
wait a day and see if there is any trace of fluid..(on the frame, hoses, panels etc)
should be easier to spot it on the actually hoses and panels its flowing from then the spots on the ground haha

still cant find them i suggest following the coolant cables to find any cracks or nics in them.. if you found one replace the hoses..(with the correct hose!)
another way is to get a spray bottle, fill it with soap and water, shake it up and turn on your car*EDIT* and a/c full blast(ofcourse do this after you get it running) spray your coolant hoses and ac hoses to see if there is any leak...(the water on the hose should bubble up and pop a few times..just keep spraying if you think you missed one) this method actually works haha

the fuel leak, im not familiar with that..
i believe i have a very very very very very very small leak but not enough for me to worry about now..
for me and congo to know..how do you fix and/or find a leaking fuel line?
