Coolant from passenger side/next to tire/ leaking fluid

Hello again all

well some shitty luck tonight..after getting home and parking in my space that plastic piece that covers the tranny or whatever that is got a lil stuck behind the parking space concrete thing (mine hangs a lil low)..
well after pulling it back carefully when i shut off the car i heard a water sound and saw it was radiator fluid//lots of it..
coming from the passenger side next to the tire (around that area where the bearings etc is)..when i opened the plastic resevoir cap it would pour out like crazy from under the car when i closed it it slowed alot..well i let the car cool off for a few hours and went back down to take a better look (its dark out but i had a flashlight)..it stopped coming out but theres fluid all under the car..checked the main radiator cap and as expected i didnt see any fluid topped off BUT the resevoir still had fluid in it so im guessing theres no leak from that plastic resevoir..

any suggestions on what it could be??im guessing a hose cracked or came loose or something..i dont think its the water pump cause i changed it last year with my timing belt..

im gonna have my guy take a look this week but its a holiday weekend as im sure u guys are aware so i might have to wait till wed..but id like to have atleast a clue of what it could be..hopefully nothing to too expensive or complicated ..

thanx all for your time

turns out it was a tear/rip in one of the hoses...all good now..
going to replace all the hoses next so it doesnt happen anytime soon again..luckily it wasnt anything $
