leaking coolant?

after driving my 3rd gen rx-7 for a little bit i parked it and noticed that there was smoke coming from under the hood. so i opened it up and heard bubbling sounds from where the radiator cap is (ast is removed). then i started it up again and moved it from its parked position and noticed that it left coolant all over the road. whats happening to my FD?? i know this could be an array of problems but any help would be appreciated. thanks

Where did the coolant come from? If the overflow bottle is full, it will leak out onto the ground. Is the gauge indicating that the car is over heating?

And only use Mazda thermostat and pressure cap.
