Default Very odd coolant leak

It's odd as far as I'm concerned. I can't find anyone else with the same problem. Today I noticed my car got extremely overheated, extremely fast. When I pulled it into my driveway, I noticed a giant puddle of coolant underneath my car near the transmission. Checked my radiator, completely empty. I poured water into the radiator just to notice it would just be poured out onto the ground immediately without ever turning the car on. I jacked up my car to look under it and all I could see was water dripping, not an actual source of the leak. I cannot find the source of the leak for the life of me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This thread (and your other one) belong in the engine/maintenance forum. Please make note when posting a thread mechanically related to maintenance or engine/driveline.

There is a coolant line on the backside of the engine and it is metal, wraps around the back of the intake. LIkely your issue given the area of discharge.
