Ummm yes, most likely your coolant seals are toast. The exhaust gases are now over-pressurizing the water passages and causing your coolant to blow everywhere. time for a rebuild. There are various tests you can do to confirm this, but if coolant is blowing out that violently I don't know if you will physically be able to do it.

A severe enough loss of coolant can also scrap irons and housings. The parts list for the rebuild may get longer once the engine is torn down.
