Had a massive blow out in the engine bay and coolant sprayed everywhere. Poured some distilled water into the expansion tank and fluid immediately started to drip out. Luckily I was able to find where the coolant was dripping out of visually and started to take things apart. At first I thought it was just dripping from the clamped hose area. After I pulled the hose off there was a huge tear in the hose which explains all the coolant that sprayed all over the engine bay.

After changing out the hose and refilling the expansion tank with distilled water I turned on the car and let it idle for a while. Only problem is that there is white smoke still coming out of the engine bay. I sprayed some simple green in the engine bay and rinsed with water. I let the car cool down a bit and afterwards check the coolant level and all seems the same level as before so for now it doesn't look like there is fluid leaking (fingers crossed and knock on wood lol. Need to grab a pressure tester and make sure before I feel comfortable taking it out on a drive again...lol. Some pictures below:

 

glad you caught it in time, these motors do not like to be ran hot, hell no motor likes to be ran hot...lol

 

you might want to open the burp valve . you may have gotten some air in the system.

 

how do you open the burp valve?

 

the valve is next to the coolant cap . to open it ,twist the metal clip vertical . leave it open for a couple of cycles .

 

You're missing an alternator bolt...

 

Thanks, when you say a couple of cycles how long are each of those?
