Loosing coolant. Alot. Went to bed with resevoir full. Woke up to it completely empty and radiator slight loss. Pulled the plastic cover. Coated with fluid. Started looking for leaks and found a possible leak above the oil pan. How is this possible if the water pump is internal? Looks like the gasket make may be a culprit?
all hoses checkout. Radiator checks out. Overflow tank checks out and trans coolant lines checkout. Its coming from the block im sure but does that mean waterpump or something else?
A pressure test can help. You should see bubbles or stronger leak if it's external at the point of the leak. Or, have someone stand behind your car after it's warm to check for a sweet smell from the exhaust which would indicate a head gasket problem.
I suspect an external leak since it drained away during the night.

I agree a pressure test is definitely warranted here.
