your video does not help, need location of the leak and you could do some investigating yourself and look under the hood.

Is the leak coming from a hose, the block, or form the interior of the car? is the car overheating?

The video is of low quality and does not show location of the leak nor does it give me a reference of where the camera is looking at.

What year is it, and what engine? How many miles are on it? Are you sure its not an internal leak?

The 3.1L, 3.4L, and 3.8L V6 engines have a very common problem or either blown head gaskets (seen most on 3.1, and 3.4) or intake gaskets (seen more on 3.8L)...

wow, that looks bad..... check to make sure you did not blow a coolant hose somewhere ( you will see this if you pop the hood).... other than that i would start with a water pump because they are cheep to buy and easy to replace..... then you wanna look at the radiator.....
