Help help help !!

So I got home from work today and about 3 hours later I went out to my garage to look at my car, just to look at it, and I see a huuuge puddle of liquid substance next to my G. Huge as in it looks like someone poured an entire bottle of water right next to my car, around where the passenger side wheel is. The liquid substsance ran all the way out back towards my muffler tips, starting right underneath the engine.

So i quickly popped my hood and was shocked to see absolutely no coolant left in its reservoir. I got my flashlight out and shined it everywhere i could inside the engine and I saw green liquid substance in many different places, kind of like it shot everywhere.

Does anyone possibly know what might happened to my car? Also who and where I can take it to to get this fixed. It's an 03 G Coupe if that matters in any way at all.

I only noticed this after my car was parked in my garage after sitting for 3 hours. On my drive back home from work I did not have the A/C on at all. As for the substance, it is not that thick, pretty thin actually and slippery. That's what it felt like on my finger tips when i dabbed a bit of the liquid that was on the ground.

I'm guessing it is a huge coolant leak? Since there is absolutely no coolant left in its tank under the hood.

Check your radiator just to be sure that your reservoir wasn't low. If it was leaking your going to have to get dirty and find the hose that broke and fix it, no one is going to be able to help you through the internet.

If you have no coolant, I wouldn't drive it as it will heat up quickly and you risk engine damage.

So did you actually check the coolant reservoir or the radiator for coolant levels? You may have sprung a leak somewhere...possibly a hose or something.
