Clean it all up, and rent a pressure tester from your local parts store.

Well that might be the origin of the problem, but now there is a leak that needs to be found and fixed too.

Where was the coolant "pissing" from? I mean that should give you an idea where to start at least.

This thread fails. It like saying "I took a poop and now my butt stinks, where should I start." Put some water in the thing, run it, and look to see where its coming from.
