overheating problem

So here goes......

I was driving my car home and noticed smoke coming from my car when I parked in front of my house, opened the hood and coolant was everywhere comning from what I beleived to be where the radiator neck is, which I guess is my fault because I lost the o-ring for it (ooops), I also had the hazard fuse out because my radiator snsor wire has snapped off and my add coolant buzzer was going off. I put the fuse back in and drove back home after driving around the block to see what was going on, and my coolant temp. was slowly going up so I parked it back home. If anyone could please point me in the direction of where my problem is I would be very grateful, I been trying to keep this thing alive to be my transportation until I could drop a j-spec TT2 in, hopefully coming in the near future.

Thank you

did u replace the o ring in the water neck? If not try that, my car was doing the same thing it slowly rises and then i changed the water neck o ring and it was fine. Cause i tought o its just a little leak its fine but then i changed and it fixed it. Or maybe ur radiator cap is not holding in pressure.
