Coolant leak

hey, this is my first thread, i have a 1994 F150 4x4 with the 302ci V8, i have a coolant leak, and i think its the freeze plugs, or the head. I tried heavy duty stop leak in my radiator but that obviously didnt cut it considering theres still a coolant puddle left where ever i park a week after i put the stop leak in. Anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to get the freeze plugs fixed, or the heads fixed, depending on whichever is leaking once i find out what it is.

Rent a cooling system pressure test kit from a part store. Pump the system up and see if you can find out where the leak is coming from.
