WTF just happened, I was at my friends working on his 240 when I decide to go home. well as soon as I turn my car on I see coolant start leaking underneath my car "I was like damn". As soon as I saw that I turned off my car and popped the hood, even my AST was spitting **** out. WTF the *** happened, is it my ast or is the engine gone, It still turns on and everything but it leaks coolant when the car it started. Can I plz get some feedback. thnx

most likely a leak...... your engine is probably still good, no reason why its dead

Yeah more info... Wait till it cools a little of course, check start and watch if you can find it with the engine off, we dont want you blind or burnt!
