Antifreeze leaking out the bottom of my car?

I have a 98 Pontiac Grand Am. It wasn't overheated. I drove it for a few blocks and back home and it was spurting antifreeze out of the bottom. I let it cool down and than put more antifreeze in it but its just leaking right out. Near the back of the engine. Does anybody have any idea why it would be leaking out the backish of the engine? The radiator doesn't feel cracked as far as I can feel. Any advice?

    if it is leaking antifreeze then why put more in? the best thing to do is get it up on jacks and then put some water in and see if you can find the leak if it is losing lots of it then it must be a hose or some thing major like a hose or a freeze plug or such when i say major i don't mean like a messed up eng ,but i do mean some thing that does have to do with holding water in your eng so check all hoses and freeze plugs and such.check even the heater hoses, and it might be a freeze plug in the back of the head that might be causing this so check it good . should not cot you much but you have to find the problem.

    Does the vehicle leak whether it rather is chilly? ( such as you park it for hours, then once you place some water or antifreeze it is going out ) ? if it is going whether it rather is chilly, then it rather is not a controversy with heating / and it rather is not a small crack in some place, it extremely is a great one. How plenty does it leak? does the radiator save some water interior it or it get complete empty? as though it is going complete empty meaning there's a controversy with between the hoses below, or with the radiator, it ought to be destroy or leak from backside, or there's a destroy interior the engine area that comprise the water ( it rather is fastened via wilding or perhaps it needs to get replaced). If the vehicle kit is computerized, then you will possibly discover an oil cooler interior your radiator, verify it rather is hoses if additionally they related nicely and that they've no cracks or holes, if so, then you could desire to swap the rubber hoses.
