check coolant level light came on... coolant everywhere!?!
It looks like something blew up in my engine, there's coolant everywhere! I think "check coolant!" light/warning is deffinitly a understatement. What do you guys think happened? It can't be low coolant level. Any ideas?

That's a very good call, Mr. Obvious!

The ripped hose is to your cooling system, or it could be to your turbos. A 996 has coolant lines going to the turbos, so unless you wanna overheat your turbo dont even drive it.

Use to be the only form of cooling in the older cars. Now oil serves not only as a lubricant but also a hydraulic coupling fluid as well as cooling. That and the actual coolant.Various parts are water cooled and various are not. The low end has no coolant running through it yet eh cylinder assembly and heads do. The turbos don't, like the case only oil passes through there.

Mine did the same thing last year. Shot coolant all out the back (mine is not a turbo). While it was an 'easy-fix' for the dealer, I still had to have it towed via flat-bed, for $150, and repaired out of warranty for another $750. They replaced the plastic coolant reservior. It took about 24 hours from the time they received the vehicle.
Good Luck...
