I was smelling radiator fluid and when i turned my AC on. The next day my heater was blowing cool air and I was leaking fluid through the floor vents inside and outside of the car. No sound of overheating or no steam coming from under the hood, however the hose was very hot. What should I do or what could be wrong?

If you have coolant leaking on floor of car, you have a heater core that is leaking. This would not explain the coolant outside the car so my guess is, you have an external leak. You should probably replace the core and have the cooling system pressure tested.
