Check for a worn seal around your water pump. Then check around your radiator/fittings, and then hoses.
If you still can't find it, you can always pressure test the system or use UV dye.

It definitely not the pump of you would not be still driving it. I would check the hoses (one of the ones at the pump usually goes first. Also check the expansion tank an sensors.

That's a fair amount of coolant. My radiator just failed but it was a bare trickle and I drove it for a week before the coolant level dropped.

I remove the expansion tank no cracks and look under the car and see nothing.
i will buy distilled water and drop them in to check if it comes out somewhere.
fucking cold outside and now snow and ice everywhere
