Its probably spilled all over. My radiator's seal blew between the plastic and metal at the top and it sprayed way back into the engine bay.
Stupid moutains and long drive back from mexico...

you could find the hole and plug it up, or just buy a radiator

the same thing happened to me.
you most likely have a broken line some were thats spilling out all the fluid out.
try to see if you can find out after you drive your car for 5 min. if theres any fliud spilling from one of the hoses.If your car smokes thats most likey the problem.(the smoke is caused by the fluid spilling on the enigine because its hot)once you find which line it is just replace it at a machanic.
DO NOT GET RIPPED OFF SOME PEOPLE CHARGE 200
YOU CAN GET IT FOR LESS THAN 50 IF YOU LOOK RIGHT

if you see white smoke the you most likly have a warp head. over heating is a big problem. double check your exhaust. if it is eating you rat water most likly alot of money to fix.
