Blown Engine? Help

i started my car and the add coolant light and buzzer went off. so i thought that was weird.... i opened hood and looked at the coolant resevaior thing and it was low, so i thought it was jsut low coolant. but when i went to kragen wit the car, it was ok, a min later when i came out, there was coolant everywhere on the ground. we looked at it and used pressure to push the coolant out to see where its coming from and it came outta the side of the engine, right above the header and under the intake manifold. it just all comes out. so does this mean that my coolant seals are out and needs a rebuild or is it somethin else... i really dont want a blown engine right now.. but please, tell me what happened.

Could just be a popped hose. Clean up the engine bay then inspect all the coolant hoses. If you must, start the engine and then quickly look under the hood to find the leak.
