I'd say that just under a gallon of coolant came out in a constant stream, like it was running out of a hose, not like it was leaking out from a burst hose or leaking out of a failed or failing waterpump. Then is quite suddenly quit running out all together. Other than a hose coming undone, any ideas what I should be looking for or at?

Thanks for your help. I plan on getting into this thing on Friday and hopefully enjoying the car this weekend.

Shortly after I purchased mine, I was checking fluid levels. I added a small amount of coolant. A couple of days later I parked at a friends house and the same thing happened to me. It came gushing out near the passenger rear wheel. I freaked. It turned out that I hand't reinstalled the coolant cap properly, It was cross threaded and wasn't sealing properly. It was even the newest cap version. I make sure I get it on right now. Plastic threads on plastic threads can be a bit tricky.
