Default Coolant Leaking

well i bought this car for 1000... it is leaking on both sides of the engine

it is very difficult to tell where the leak is coming from because it is coming from the back of the engine. i did some research before buying and believe the coolant flange is suspect since it seems to be a common problem with these cars.

however i pulled up the coolant reservoir and there is a plastic grocery bag plugging up one of the holes on the bottom which i can only assume is supposed to have a hose attached to it that links to the engine somewhere

There is a nipple on the bottom for the overflow. Often has no tube attached.
