Sounds like your overflow bottle is cracked. I've heard of that happening before. If that is the case, just get a new one. No big deal. You will want to get under the car and look to make sure. Hopefully your engine didn't get too hot and fry an O-ring.

That should about cover it, except what hood is that. (Dragons car)

I had the EXACT same problem - don't sweat it. When you pour in the antifreeze mixture into the overflow tank, it all just comes out the bottom right? But sometimes it has enough pressure and actually stays in right? I am willing to bet money that your overflow tank is cracked. Mine was and I replaced it and now there is no more leak.
It scared me too because this happened right when I bought my FD also. The only thing that went through my head was that it was the seals, the seals, the seals...But don't worry too much! Everyone on this forum scares the living **** out of you but coolant leaks are very commonly due to other factors OTHER than apex seals! No matter what they tell you, this is true!
