:wave: Hi Quincy, welcome to the Fiat Forum and hope you manage to get your problem sorted out soon. Unfortunately, it is impossible to diagnose this sort of a problem without examining the car as it could be one of many things causing the problem; leaking radiator, water pump, split in hose, rusty core plug, thermostat gasket, etc.
Sorry that I cannot give you any concrete help but from what you have described I don't think it is a head gasket as this tends to leak more when the engine is running, pressurising the cooling system with exhaust gasses which superheat the water.
I assume it is leaking onto the floor under the car so really it would be best to get the car onto a ramp and have a good look underneath to see where it is coming from.
