My vehicle had a known coolant leak which we could not find but was easily maintained by adding coolant. Suddenly today my vehicle started losing all of its coolant. I added coolant but it was lost almost immediately. The vehicle started smoking severely. My exhaust is in disrepair, but it seemed like the smoking was coming from the rear of the vehicle. Where should I look for a leak, and is it more probable that it is a head gasket or simply a leaking hose? How much would a head gasket cost to replace? I've replaced hoses before, so that wouldn't be difficult for me to do.
