SERIOUS COOLANT problem!

SERIOUS COOLANT problem!
So I flushed my radiator fluid on thursday along with the timing belt and all the other stuff. Everything is fine.
However, just noticed last night, huge puddle under front of car, passenger side.
Was scratching my head why it would be. Was going to take off the underpanel, then saw that all the way on the right side of the car, in front of the right front wheel, there is a small hole, that is where the leak is coming from. There is a little plastic tube.
Then looked at my coolant reservoir, and the red stuff is at low (2 days ago it was full).
So can anyone help? Its sunday, and all the stores are closed around here.
1) Is the leak coming from the botom of the radiator? Why would the tube there, be releasing so much coolant?
2) Where can I buy the red stuff so that I can drive to a shop first thing tomorrow?
THANKS THANKS THANKS

yeh i converted to a electric fan and i dunno how but all the blades are gone and theres a hole in my radiator....was secure tightly to the radiator since i took it out to put it on properly but guess not. got a 94 radiator for 100 bucks and its better than my 93 one so u can call it a "upgrade" . good luck.

What causes a cracked radiator anyway? I just had mine replaced and the bill came to $1000 for the radiator, coolant and transmission fluid.

That is at the dealer. Online Toyota dealers are lot cheaper I.e. I did a full timing belt/water pump/all rotors/plugs/wires/pulley tensioners/hood struts/brake pads. Local dealer wanted 2178$ for parts only. I bought them online for 858$ same OEM parts.
It pays to shop around (literally).
