Default Serious coolant leak

So as the title reads, I have a pretty bad coolant leak that I can't figure out. Initially I thought it was the radiator since I'd noticed it had a leak. So I replaced it. Now I'm still losing coolant at the same rate (I fill up the reservoir every 2-3 days). Has anyone experienced this issue? 06 gs300 awd

I once had a leak at my radiator, the top seal of the radiator went bad. Replace it with a new oem and youll be good to go, or see a radiator shop if there able to repair yours.

Pop the hood and look down at your oil filter housing – a bad leak from the water pump will probably leave quite a bit of pink coolant residue on the housing
