Is there a way to definitively find that out myself? I'm not a car guy so trying to do as much as I can

If you don't know about this stuff then quit driving the vehicle and get it towed to a shop before you cause more damage.

Ok. Let the car cool down for a couple hours... Open radiator cap and fill with water... Crank engine and wait about 5 mins for car to warm up. Then look for any fluid leaking and where it is coming from.. Basically hoses. Water may come from under engine.. That would be the water pump... Finding where it is leaking is one thing. Fixing is another......
