If a mist "blew out" then it sounds like it was under pressure - I would check your oil and coolant levels after its cooled down a while.
Make sure there is no intermix of coolant in oil or oil in coolant.
If its just the coolant level down, you must identify the leak before driving it again - it could be something simple like a hose clamp, a split hose or the water pump. The rads are at the front so that kind of isolates them from the conundrum.....
Keep us informed of the outcome.
