Default coolant leak, need help fast

I noticed my truck smelled like antifreeze yesterday when I came home from work. This morning I had a puddle of it under my truck. Tonight I noticed that it seems to be leaking from somewhere right under my relocated throttle body. Almost looks like it is coming from the A/C. Any thoughts?

Pressure test the cooling system and use a blue LED flash light ( it will make the coolant glow) and pin point the sorce. You shouldnt be leaking coolant from the A/C.
