Then when I tool it out of the garage later I noticed a large pool of anti freeze under the front of the car, the guage in the antifreeze compartment confirmed it had leaked out.
Taking it to my mechanic tonight.
Just from this description, what could be the problem? Hopefully a Hose? or worse?

These cars have plastic mounting "ears" molded into the end tanks of the front radiators that are infamous for breaking when the nose of the car bottoms out. Usually, when they snap off, it creates a leak.
Before you even ask, no, it cannot be glued back in place; it simply will not hold.
