I finally got my car back on the road after being parked in the garage for a month with the exhaust off. Got the new Mac stuff put on Friday night and drove it a little Friday night and Saturday. Last night I took my kid out to play.
We went out to the highway, made a U-turn, and came to a complete stop. I put it in 1st and roasted em',speed shifted to 2nd at about 5500rpm, still accelerating. I think I went to 3rd, but I can't remember. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw what appeared to be smoke rolling from behind my car. I stopped to see what the problem was. I first looked at the back of the car and didn't see anything, then under and the whole underside of the car was soaked. Then I noticed it was coming from under the hood.
I popped the hood and there was coolant everywhere. Squeezed the radiator hose and there was no pressure. I could hear it blowing out of the engine somewhere when I squeezed the hose. I managed to drive it home three miles without the temp going above the high normal range.
When I got it home I poured water in the radiator to see if I could see where it was leaking from. It started pouring like a faucet out from behind the alternator. I looked closer and it seems to be coming from the front of the intake manifold. Is this a seal between the upper and lower manifold or something. I'm not too mechanical, but I get by. I'm actually an aircraft mechanic. A little different.
Follow this link to see exactly where it seems to be leaking from. I copied a page out of my Chilton's manual for this.

Please help!
oh yeah. It's still under a 3 month warranty until next Thursday. What should I do?
When I was driving it home, I had the heat on all the way to keep the temp down, but it was blowing COLD air.
Thanks
