Coolant leak?

Hi,

I wanted to see if anyone has had the same problem I am having. I noticed my temperature gauge was high while sitting in the truck with the AC on. I turned it off, back on then drove to get antifreeze. The reservoir was empty, but when I poured in coolant, it never filled up. I drove to the parts store, smelt burning coolant and smoke was coming from behind the stock air intake. I then noticed coolant on the passenger side of the engine where the spark plugs are and the frame under the passenger side was wet with coolant as well. My question is where would the leak be? I was low on oil as well at the time I'd that makes any difference.
