coolant problem... again

I haven't been driving my car lately because my liscense got suspended but today i took it out for a spin cuz i was sick of just pulling it out and starting it. After driving about 5 minutes, i decided to redline it and shortly thereatfer my coolant light came on and me temp started going up. I was close to home so i just drove home. I opened the hood after i stopped and i was happy to see that there wasn't a shitload of smoke like last time (i blew 2 coolant lines). After it cooled off i ran water through it and it held the water until i filled about half a gallon and then it started spilling out the bottom of the car. The water was trickling down the back of the oil pan which kind of puzzled me. I'm hoping that it's not a coolant seal, and i already checked the color of the oil. The car starts fine and does not steam up alot. I have been told that it could be the third coolant line in the back of the motor that probably popped off the cap as what happened with the other two. This would be i'm guessing because it already went bad from the last time i overheated the motor.
Anybody have input or ideas? I'm going to try and take a pic of where the water is coming from and post it later.
