Default Lower Hose leak

I am new to owning a S70 2.4T and at 800 miles of it's life with me water and antifreeze started coming out on the driver's side. I assume it is the hose but where is the other end on the engine. I have not seen it. I don't have the car up on stands but I went into the bay at the oil change place and looked up. I did not get a good look.

P.S. Ex Ford Service Tech and race car builder so getting dirty and fixing my own stuff is normal for me.

Which hose is it?
There is 3 hoses in the back unless it is a turbo then there is more.

I don't have any way to raise the car. My Ford truck I can take it completely apart with the only jack is used to lower the parts to the ground. At the time my truck clutch just went out so yes 395 was a good deal.

Oh and PS No one but these guys had Hoses. The dealer was order only along with NAPA and Carquest. I don't get parts from autolite or O'reilly as I am tired of them failing in a year.
