Coolant leak?

I noticed my Pilot overheating the other day. I was able to add half a gallon of distilled water to the radiator (will add proper coolant once the leak is diagnosed and fixed).

Having trouble pinpointing where the leak is coming from. Can't see anything from the top, and this is as much as I can see from the bottom. Any ideas?

I was having trouble attaching the video. It's a video recorded on my iPhone that I uploaded to Imgur which is approved as a media source here. When I paste the link, the forum auto embeds the link. But when I previewed the post, both on my desktop and my mobile device, the video wouldn't work, so I tried a workaround to stop it from auto embedding. This worked out on my end but I guess it isn't working on your guys' end. I just edited the original post to include the forum's auto embedded link, maybe it works for you guys.

Well when I clicked on the link I got some foul language and repulsive images that I’d like to unsee, it would be good to remove it….please.
Youtube works better.

Maybe not relevant but when I had a strong coolant smell every time after using the vehicle, the dealership told me that the radiator seam was weeping coolant so failure was imminent. I had the radiator replaced. This was an '09 Pilot so maybe check the radiator seams and water pump as Nail Grease mentioned is a good place to start,
