My car is a 2002, and the leak is orange so i know its coolant, i just can't find where its coming from. I also had to add coolant one day when she started running hot and the heater started blowing cold air. Thanks.

Have you checked the weep hole on the water pump? If it is leaking, while the car is running, the pulleys will throw it around and it will drip off of whatever it can.
Dye in the system will pin point the leak quickly. I would run the car let it get warm, sht it off and clean off the residue. Then look and you will find the leak.
