I was driving my car and it wasnt overheating. Temperature gauge was normal and as soon as I came to a complete stop. smoke came from nder the hood and antifreeze came spilling out from the rear of the engine. It seems like its a hole or something. I poured more antifreeze in and it just spilled right out of the back of the engine

Check heater core hoses, check freeze plugs, check intake.
