Please somebody help!!

ok here's the story, my wife was coming back from the store and was backing into the driveway. and when she was backing up all of the sudden a whole bunch of green liquid started to pour out from the bottom of the car. so i ruished outside to see the problem and when i lifted up the hood one of the hoses was cracked and blowing out air. she said when she was driving that the add coolant light came on. here are some pics.








ok so the obvious question here is has this happened to anyone or does anyone what the hell happened?

Um, your old worn out coolant hose split and dumped all the coolant out. Hopefully the car was shut off before it overheated.

I don't understand your confusion....replace your old worn out hoses and refill the coolant. Be sure to burp the system fully to remove air pockets.

And also try putting the intercooler duct and the intake air duct back in place as well..that poor car probably sees 150* intake air temps with the stock IC and no duct.

Jesus, I assumed that stuff was removed for him looking at the coolant problem...I hope so.
