Fill up the coolant, leave the hood open, start the engine and leaving it running. Look under the hood and try to locate the leak or it's proximity to other items.

That's the best I can give with those details.

Anymore clues as to the location of the leak in relation to the engine compartment (ie, towards the front, on the right, etc.).

Check your radiator for any signs of damage, such as rock hits. I would be surprised if the hoses are bad unless you have a lot of mileage on the car. You should also check to make sure that the radiator drain petcock is tight. You can start the engine without coolant but you shouldn't let it run too long.

Usually not, it has to be replaced if you are looking for a long term fix.
