deffinately coolant. are you seeing it on the ground, or can you see the hose actually leaking, cause it may be the radiator tank

i see it on the ground, when i pop the hood open i see this large hose leaking. The hose looks like it connects to the head, followed by i believe two more large hoses. i touched the faulty hose to see what's wrong wit it, and it seems that the hose popped out of the ring, or that the ring that was holding the hose in somehow cut the hose at the threshold of the ring and the hose. All i know is that once i moved it, it started leaking more coolant

ROFL ? wow ..... that sounded so newbish ..... LOL, u better replace that hose. Let the engine cool before u even put water/coolant in there.
