Default Intake sucked up coolant.

I just got home and heard a whizzing sound I then open my hood and see coolant leaking from the upper radiator hose. I see that my intake filter is dripping coolant so I take the filter off and see coolant in the intake. My question is what do I do? What can happen? Thanks in advance

i would check the tube really well to see if any had made its way up to the TB. then i would just replace the filter.

I checked the other end and it looks like it might have not made it to the tb, you can see where the coolant was moving downwards but dried up. I'm still not too sure yet but what are the symptoms of hydro locking? Hopefully it didn't happen but just wondering.

if your motor still runs, then it hasnt hydrolocked. if it hydrolocked then the motor wouldnt move at all, it wont even turn over.

Iv had the top tank blow off my radiator a few times and soak the pod filter. It wont suck up any water unless its fully submered in water. Just leave the filter out in the sun for while or replace it if it was a cheap one.
