Drain the oil an see if it has water in it. if it does that you have a big problem. if not that make sure the freeze plugs are in other than that umm...idk if there is no leaks than it has to be draining into your oil
Well, let me tell you from experience....RUN. Seriously, if you havent sold it or shot it, do it. I had THREE....ALL DIED after overheating and nobody being able to diagnose. The last one I tool to the dealer..he called an hour later and said "no problems, I dorve it 20 miles and its fine"...NOT. I got there and he had blown the motor because he "had no idea it'd lost ALL it's water". I kid you not, this is a recurring issue with these cars, and I think it is safe to say that there will NEVER be a recall. (Although, with car #3 I ended up with the pick of the lot (suppose they didnt want to be sued). This time I got a foreign car. My 3 Pacificas were THEE biggest pieces of you know what that I have ever owned........and I have owned a LOT of cars. STAY AWAY FROM THE PACIFICA!!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: why is my car running hot?losing water
Blown head gasket resulting in super heated water (pegging gauge) then creating excessive pressure and blowing the hose off. Take the cap off and rev it and if it shoot water out like Old Faithful that's the problem.

Bring the car into a repair shop and have them pressure test it for leaks or you can purchase a pressure tester make sure you get the appropriate adapter for your cars radiator filler neck or resovoir, and check for leaks yourself. Make sure the car is cold and there is the appropriate mixtiure of coolant and water in the system, prior to pressure testing. Also do a visual inspection of the cooling system when the vehicle is cold and look for leaks.

If you are seeing coolant on the top side of your engine, it sounds to me like it may be the intake manifold gasket. Does this have the 4.3L engine? If so, this is a common problem with these engines. If the leak is severe enough, the cooling system will not build up the pressure it needs and this will cause it to run hot. Hope this helps.

There are two freeze out plugs at the rear of the block (V8) and many v6 engines. If coolant is coming from where you say, likely they have failed. Unfortunately, the only way to reach them is to remove engine or transmission, It's rare that they fail because they are "protected " by the bellhousing, but can still rot from the inside out. There is no sealer known to man that will fix this. It's a shame that you need to do all that work for a pair of $2.00 plugs, but that's what needs to happen.

Could be water pump, radiator, freeze plugs, hoses, ect. try and isolate the area by putting a piece of card board down on the ground and line up what is above it. Garages use a pressure tester on the cooling system to see where the leak is. I would guess water pump,or small bypass hose
