Default Coolant Leak

The other day I notice my coolant low light came on, and upon inspection, looks like there was no coolant, it leaked out. It looks like the leak is close to the firewall than the front of the car.

Any ideas? Would this just be a hose?

There are a number of hoses near the firewall, yes. If you top off the coolant and run the engine up to temp, can you see any drips?

Was this a sudden loss of coolant or very gradual?

Often are leaking hose is caused simply by a loose hose clamp, by the way

Well, It was a leaky hose. So that got solved quick, but now the coolant light won't go off, and the car only pushes out lukewarm air. any idea?

This car is slowly driving me nuts.

You need to bleed the system. You have air in it. Search the forum
