So I was driving my car and then I get on the highway. All of a sudden I notice that I am leaving a big trail of white smoke behind and that the engine temperature is skyrocketing. I pull over, wait for it cool down and try to drive it again, same thing. So I get it towed to my place. I suspect that it was the engine coolant. So I pour a whole thing of coolant into my car and the car sucks it all up without any resistance. I notice that it was leaking the coolant out from the bottom.

Any ideas what broke?

I'm pretty sure it's the radiator.

Water pump is toast or blew a hole in a radiator hose? Is it coming from under the front of the engine? Is it coming from directly under the radiator?

I think its from underneath the front of the engine (its not a ls1, its a 3800).

I couldn't really see because it was dark.

there should be a hole at the buttom of the water pump check to see if that is wet that.

Well it may or may not be the water pump, but the hose that connects from the water hose to the engine blew off.

I gotta get that replaced, then see if there is something wrong with the water pump.

^^^Well that would be a big problem. Hopefully it was the only one.
