Perhaps your sarcasem was lost on me - if infact you were being
sarcastic, but correct me if I'm wrong - coolant would not come out of
your AC compressor, and unless you had MAJOR internal engine damage -
you don't normally see coolant pouring outta the oil pan.

The waterpump weep hole is one thing to check. That would only show
loss of coolant when running - as you describe. Also - is it over
heating? Where is the level of coolant in the overflow/resivore tank?
You could have coolant pouring outta the drain tubr of the overflow tank
if the level of coolant in there is too high.
