1991 Ford Explorer 190,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
The car is a 1991 Ford Explorer with 190,000 miles on it.

I drove to my mom's place last night, which is about 20 miles or so and when I parked, I heard a sizzling sound, I looked under my car to see a fluid literally pouring out of my car, about center under the hood.

When I could actually see the fluid, I saw it was green so I knew it was antifreeze/coolant pouring out of my car. I opened up the hood just in time to see all the coolant in my coolant tank just empty out.

A friend of mine popped under the car and said it could be the freeze plugs, I'm taking it to a shop later this morning (hopefully) and hoping they'll be able to find the issue but I wanted to ask her first so I could get a better idea on what it could be.

Again, I drove about 15 to 20 mlies and as soon as I parked, I saw that Antifreeze was pouring out under my car, about center point of the hood.

Could be the radiator/radiator hose/heater hose/water pump/thermostat housing/freeze plugs etc.
