Rad? Waterpump?

I've always had coolant problems. The overflow has never held coolant. Despite everything being pressure tested and its all supposively good.

But my car finally overheated and wouldn't start back up. I dumped a bunch of coolant in after letting it cool off. It was like a funnel, right through the engine onto the street lol...

Any clue what it would be exactly? Expensive fix? Wasn't expecting another problem before swapping, but I still need to drive me car right now.

Could possibly be a busted hose if its 'gushing' out.

Get under your car and see where its coming from. Than post back on here which part it leaking. It is impossible for us to tell you where your car is leaking from over the internet without even seeing the car.

Sounds like either the rad has sprung a leak or the lower rad hose is cracked (more likely scenario) if you're seeing coolant literally come out underneath as you pour it in there.

my top hose split after a few years they become really soft though for a hose they are quite expensive over here from mazda.

When your done driving your car and you park it. Can you hear a *tick* *tick* *tick* kind of sound?
That can mean its leaking coolant. Look at the ground, see if you see any water on there
