Anti-Freeze line broke

[J3wbagell]

I noticed my car steaming last night and when I lifted up the hood there was anti-freeze everywhere. It was dark and I couldn't really tell where it came from so I decided to look for it this morning. When I tried to look for it I couldn't find a leak at all. Is there an easy way to find it? I tried turning on the car but there was no leakage anywhere.

did you refill the radiator?? if antifreeze was everywhere, you had either a hose (there are 4 of them), or waterpump fail.

if the rad was low/empty, there isn't any coolant to push out of a leak. also, sometimes they only leak when up to temp (which pressurizes the system).

fill rad, get a pressure tester from A/Z (might be one of the free rental tools), and pressurize the system. that will show where the leak is.

It was empty and I refilled it last night.

did u look at the temp? i had a thermostat fail once that dumped boiling coolant EVERYWHERE out of the overflow reservoir.

I found the hose just have to replace it now.
