Water methanol for cooling is injected into the

  • compressor inlet or outlet.
  • engine hot zone.
  • combustion chamber.

Explanation from PART66Online

Coolant water/methanol is introduced at the compressor inlet or at the compressor outlet (diffuser/combustion chamber inlet). Injecting at these points cools and densifies the airflow, restoring thrust, rather than dumping liquid into the hot turbine zone directly.
