Hello, for some reason my SUV is spraying coolant everywhere in front by the radiator. However, there is no leak to be found. Someone is saying head gasket. But I do not know.

Make sure engine has cooled down first. Get a pressure tester from auto parts store install on radiator pump it up and look for leaks with engine not running.

Yep,

Do what Johnny G. Jr suggested.

Say to yourself,

This is going be something simple.

The radiator fluid is probably spraying out of a pinhole in a hose and landing up here.

Keep us posted on your findings!
