Just took my 67 Camaro home on my lunch break and when I got out I head a gushing leak. I popped the hood and all of my coolant was rushing out of my car mostly on the passenger side of the car. Could this just be a bad hose or am I in for a lot of trouble? ---

Check if a heater hose blew. Tester ---

X2 on the blown hose. The “lot of trouble” comes if the car has been driven while leaking coolant. ---

Since you’re not sure right now, you’re going to have to fill it back up and pressurize it to see where it’s coming from. Get a coolant system pressure tester at one of the parts store’s loaner tools . Just fill with water and pump up the pressure. ---

When coolant gushes out of an engine, you don’t need a cooling system pressure tester. The leak should be pretty evident. Tester ---

Hose or popped/rusted ‘freeze plug’. ---

I agree should be hose or freeze plug at that age. If freeze plug, more than one likely needs changing. Needs to be towed to a shop. It’ll be pretty easy to see the leak. A 67 as a daily driver though? ---

Good news, it failed as you parked it home. So, no towing. As @Tester said, the leak should be pretty easy to spot. The heater hoses run on that side, IIRC. On a '67, there should be plenty of engine visible to see where it is coming from. ---

Sorry to disagree Busted, but if he has to ask where the leak is coming from, he’s going to have to have someone else do the work. ---

I think the 67 Camaro is toast. Give me a call and I’ll take it off your hands 😉
