I will say it again. Your power steering is what is leaking in te picture, the metal loop rusted out where that support bushing is right next to the fitting. There is a clear drip there, your coolant is leaking somewhere else and burning off, or you are consuming it.

dang, beat me to it!
it's just surprising to me still that people do not mention difficult starting, smoke, overheating, bubbling sounds from the overflow or hoses ballooned up like those clown animal balloons.. maybe not the case here but i've seen it before, like it's natural. coat hangers holding fan clutches locked, 16psi+psi caps, redundant overflow systems, fuel pump switches, etc, etc, etc as bandaids to the real problem.
i'd start by finding your coolant leak first and screw all the other problems. rent a pressure tester and figure out exactly where the coolant IS going.

I had an 86 GXL that unknow to me at the time had a coolant seal failure. Kept overheating, so I replaced the thermostat. In the process of doing that, I snapped both of the bolts that held it on. So whats a college student with only a few tools stashed in the dorm to do??
Go to a mechanic to have them drilled and tapped? Nope.
Stop by the local walmart and pick up a couple C-clamps... held for 1000 miles until I got my new engine!
