was driving and began to smell antifreeze coming through my AC vents. i looked at gauges & they were ok. A few minutes later as I was going up a very steep hill close to home it began to cut out & died. i got it to restart & looked at gauges & temp gauge had increased to a little past up & down. I was 3 blocks from home so i eased it home. the last 100 yards the temp went up to redline & i shut it down. smoke began to come off engine and oil was spraying out of top of engine. after cooling i checked the radiator (which was 3 wks old with new coolant) and the coolant tat was left had thickened & had a tan color. now when i add water to radiator it runs right back out. cant tell exactly where its leaking but it runs out the bottom where the exhaust runs up to the motor. i can start it & it doesnt sound like its missing bad at all. just have to shut down quickly with no coolant. anyone have a guess?
