today i went to check my oil... i pop my hood and fuckin anti freeze is alll over the place. all over my engine. all over intake over everything staining everything... i look at the box where u put the coolant in and it was empty.. so i was lookin and i guess i got a leak in this metal piece thats attached to the fan..

my question is.. is it safe to drive the car?? i refilled the coolant and it dindt loose that much.. like alot of coolant doesnt drain.. but my engine and shit was SMOKING cuz i guess the coolant.. would it catch fire or is it safe to drive..

Coolant isn't flammable, nothing will catch fire. There's gonna be some steam from the pools of coolant on the parts that get real hot. I'd be sure I found the source of the laek before I drive again. It may only start leaking again when the engines warms up and the cooling system pressurizes and forces the coolant out the leaking spot again, so be careful. That what happened to me once, after my rebuild. I had a pesky little coolant leak that only leaked when the engine was nearing full operating temperature, it was just a little hose that wasn't clamped down tight enough.
The minute you see the temp. guage move past half way, shut it down!
