Hey Heather==What is the bucket you speak of? Possibly it is the coolant recovery jar. Check all of the hoses and if it isn't leaking from the hoses and is shooting up out of the recovery jar you probably have blown head gasket. goodluckJoe

How does coolant work?
Engine coolant is what I'm assuming you are talking about. Engine coolant is a mix of water and etholyn glycol (antifreeze). It pulls heat away from your engine block that builds up from the friction of moving parts. The coolant mix allows the coolant to get cold to a point and not freeze because of the etholyn glycol. It is also not good to put straight antifreeze into your engine because antifreeze does not have as much cooling potential as water antifreeze mix. Also if you have just antifreeze in your engine the antifreeze will boil at a much lower temperature than a mix of aproxamalty 50/50.
