Hi! Hope I can help sorry to hear about your coolant leaking you could have a stuck thermostat or leaking hose or cracked radiator , you should have the system pressure check for any leaks first

Will I be able to drive it homeWe’re about 30 minutes away?
Automotive Expert
If was over heating first you might have a stuck thermostat you can try and fill with water and see it the engine cools down while running let it cool first . then see if still leaks out .

It's been shut off for about 45 minutes now
Automotive Expert
If you have a leak or over heats I would not drive it you could damage the engine

Okay
Automotive Expert
Okay try and fill the radiator now and see what happens

I have no water around me I'm going to need to see if I can get someCould the incline of driving up an incline could have caused itA mountain\*
Automotive Expert
If was real hot it can overheat and come out the overflow also

We drove up a mountain and had absolutely no issues prior to that could the elevation cause it?It was a 2500 foot incline
Automotive Expert
