Water blew out all throughout the underneath of the car motor compartment

Hi,

It sounds like a radiator hose or one of the cooling system components has failed.

If I had to guess, I feel the coolant got on the accessory drive belts and caused them to slip. As a result, the gauges came on because the alt wasn't charging.

Do me a favor. Inspect the coolant level first. If low or empty, see if you can tell an approximately area where it may have leaked from.

If you can't, add coolant to the system and see if it leaks from a specific area.

Let me know what you find so I can help guide you through the repair.

Take care,
