My car said that it suddenly overheated after being off for four hours. I opened the hood and found that what I assume to be the radiator hose exploded and there is coolant everywhere. However, I cannot see where it broke. I am not sure where else to look for a break besides the upper hose.

Fill the cooling system full of water and look for the leak, but if it is going to fall below 32 degrees there, do not keep just plain water in there for too long, only to find the leak.
