You may not have a bad hose. The coolant expansion tank in the trunk has an over-pressure valve that drains coolant through a small hose that exits near the right rear wheel. After the belt broke, your car started to build up pressure from the lack of coolant circulation and dumped coolant out the drain. You need to find out why the one-year-old belt broke. One of the pulleys may have a failed bearing. Check to make sure that they all turn smoothly - Alternator, AC Compressor, Idler pulleys, and belt tensioner.
