Question Water leaking Can't find where?

Today I was driving home when I seen my temp. gauge was all the way on the H and the light was on, So I pulled into the gas station and filled with water, No success, the sensor went off and I made it home but when I got home the whole motor was steaming, So I waited over night and attempted to put water in it while it was completely cold, I can hear the water pouring out underneath the air intake somewhere, But I cannot find where it is coming from! no leaks in the radiator, And I dont see any leaks on the side where the timing belt is so I don't think its the water pump.
I also checked the oil and there doesnt seem to be any water or coolant in the oil at all,
Oil still looks very fresh.
Still runs good in the driveway just wont hold water at all, Someone help me!!! Thanks everyone.

By "underneath the air intake somewhere" do you mean toward the back of the engine compartment close to the cowl (area below the windshield)? The heater hoses run there from the engine to bring hot water to the heater to provide heat for the car's interior. If one of the heater hoses has sprung a leak or become disconnected, you could get the situation you describe. It's not an expensive repair, if that's all it is, but you can't drive the car like that, so you'll need to either have it towed or have somebody come over to fix it.
If you attempt to drive more than a block or so like that you'll risk doing serious damage to the engine

I think it is under the intake manifold and just running off on the side of the block, the oil looks good in it and when I start it, It runs good but holds no water. So it has been sitting in my driveway, I really need help, I am a single mother of 4 in alabama and really need my car to get to work.
