okay, after fixing my leaky bastard radiator drain plug, replacing my bastard split lower oil cooler hose, unseizing my bastard locked-up engine, and inhaling huge amounts of bastard ATF smoke I took my rotary bastard out for a test drive. When I got back in the garage it sounded like niagra falls. I looked under the car and saw coolant spewing out the drivers side of the engine. It almost looked as if it was spewing out right above the oil pan. I (slowly) opened the hood and tried to look with a flashlight where the leak might be coming from but there was too much steam. Anyone know if there's a hose or something that's supsceptible to this kind of major leakage? Did I bust a coolant seal on the engine itself? Help before I friggin' bury my car.

There's a heater hose on the driver's side of the motor. One end goes to the firewall and the other end goes to the motor(bottom back).

 

This hose is prone to breaking, because it is located approx 6 inches under the oil filter, and all sorts of yummy stuff drips down onto it. It happened to me, it's not too tough to fix though. Just cant be afraid to get your hands dirty

 

Isn't there a drain plug for the coolant just below the spark plugs? Could that be what popped out?

 

right above the motor mount is the engine coolant drain plug. it's either that or the heater hose.
