We would need more info, what metal pipe, where under the car.  There are 2 main coolant pipes that run under the car one on either side, as well as 2 smaller pipes that run near the middle of the car.  The larger pipes are nearly impossible to replace without a hoist. So if those are leaking, the most common option is to cut out the leaking section and replace it with a rubber hose, or take it to an exhaust shop that has stainless pipe and have a new section welded in.

At this point.  I am going to suggest you take the car to a professional qualified mechanic.
