Angry What's wrong with my car?!?!?!?

The other day I drove my car and it drove just fine. I went to leave and I saw that the ground was wet under my car. I didn't think anything about it until I got in my car and turned it on and the coolent light came on. I put more coolent in but it still ran hot. It got to the point I had to turn off my A/C because smoke was coming out of the vents. I stopped my car today and turned it off and when I got out coolent was almost pouring out of the bottom. Is that my water pump or do I have a loose hose or a cracked radiator.

Hmm thats pretty bad, smoke pouring from the vents? You must have had 0 coolant, there must be a bigger leak, feel the hoses to see if they are wet, and look at the water pump. Im fighting a coolant problem right now also but it doesent sound as bad as yours, good luck!

Yea i just fixed my coolant problem, i had a hole in my resivior, but urs seems to be a lot worse, def. sounds like a hose problem. Fill your car with coolant and let it run, and see where its coming from.

Don't rule out the water pump.

the most likelt thing with steam coming from the vents is the heater core which by the way is a common problem with 95-2005 cavs
