its your water pump. on the 2.2s is on the left side of the motor right behind the passenger side tire. when the pump goes bad its designed to let coolant leak out of the weep hole which is whats happening in your case. since you have a 2.2 its fairly easy to change. takes about an hour to do. all i did was remove the passenger side tire and wheel liner and everything is right there. loosen then tensoner pulley and take the belt off the pump, then its just 3 bolts and its out. make sure to pick up gasket sealer too.
