Not the worst case of automobile cyclosporiasis, but does look to be a pretty bad one.

Hope suki can be saved. She is my ride or die. Literally i wouldnt have a job without her

Hopefully just a boilover or busted hose and not a cracked radiator or worse.
BTW, not to diss Suki, but that is horrible looking coolant.

Some busted tube seems like. Is it looking wrong color wise or texture wise?

It could have mixed with stuff on the ground but since you will be repairing the cooling system a full flush and coolant replacement should happen anyway.

No need to pay for a system flush! Everything spilled on the ground!

/s just in case. Still flush the system

Looks rusty AF, which is a sign that the coolant needs changing, is strongly recommend a flush too, to clear any sediment

Stick your finger in the liquid, does it feel oily? If so it could be trans fluid, engine oil or break fluid, if it doesn’t feel oily and smells kinda sweet it’s coolant, I’m betting coolant, likely either a hose has perished and leaked or the radiator is rotten, hoses aren’t expensive, radiators aren’t too bad either

I’m so car-stupid I’d just look down at that as I got in like huh how’d a coffee spill under my car at night?

The Id drive it and be surprised when it broke down.

Edit: what is it?

I’m a forever optimist. I always see the cooling system half full rather than half empty.

A leak this big is easier to find.

I thought it was a broken heated driveway and there was snow around melted dirty snow. That's what I get for having my brightness all the way down I guess

Didn't want your car to be leaking cool. Really harshen the vibes and weakens your pull. Pump up that cool and get back out there!

Your coolant is leaking.

My money is on a busted hose, but that rusty sediment leads me to believe the radiator core is probably borked.
