My heat stopped working then I seen it was out of antifreeze, but was full a week before! Heat stopped even after filled, but then noticed antifreeze around under hood. Not on engine though! Started today and nothing, but still no heat. When I turned heat on full blast stayed cold, but then water started pouring from bottom of radiator engine cold and hot stayed on cold.

Hi:
I'm not sure what you are asking. If the coolant is too low, the heater won't work. If the hood, engine side, was covered with coolant, my guess is there is a bad hose, or something is leaking near the serp belt allowing it to fling it. As far as the leak you saw, is it the radiator or a hose?

Check along the radiator plastic tanks on the sides of the radiator. Many will leak from the crimps that hold the tanks on.

Let me know.

Joe
