Autopart stores have a "loan a tool" program. Get a pressure tester to see where the leak is. Caution, don't let it overheat.

Re: Coolant leak 02 chevy venture
A cold pressure test could be revealing. It would also be prudent to check the engine oil for signs of coolant.
A common leakage area in the 60° V-6 is the intake flange. However, given the area you describe leakage could be from the thermostat housing, air bleeder, upper intake bypass pipe/hose, and various other sources.
