Well its obvious theres a break somewhere. The only immedeate way to tell is to have you, or a friend, while the car is parked, rev it to over 5k, and try and hold it around that area and inspect under the hood, and see where coolant is leaking from.

Sounds like a simple break to me. The only difficult part is finding it.

Rent/Borrow a pressure tester. Much easier and quieter.

Also, if you want to keep it on the quiet side, with the motor off, just go under your hood and squeeze each hose one by one and look / listen for a break, to try and pinpoint any gurgles or squirts. Thats probably an easy way to solve this.
