Default low coolant

i was using my sp 400 today for rock picking and i went through 2 tanks of coolant before i said i was getting a different quad. now i just sunk my quad in water that was about 3 inches from the intake and i drained every thing out that i posibly could. it is leeking out of the bottom of the engine where there is a square plate on the bottom. do u no where it might be leeking form or y its leeking cause i dont want it to be a huge $$$ figure if it has to be fixed.

Default Coolant

Check your hose where it clamps to the water pump. That's where I've seen them leak in the past.
