Coolant everywhere

Let the car idle for five minutes, took off driving slowly, stopped, sat for a few, realized it smelled like anti-freeze (i had the fan blowing) by the time i got to the destination the anti-freeze was everywhere ... and getting evaporated.

It was dripping, actually pouring out from the hmmm heater valve whatever it's called ? The one that people delete ? The heater control valve, that's it.


I've lost tons of coolant now, and trying to figure out what happened, if something got plugged up and forced the coolant out or what.

Ideas ???

I think that's exactly what happened, that or the hoses connecting to it.

Right now I'm trying to find pics and instructions regarding the heater valve delete modification, something I should have done long long time ago.
