Default When it breaks, upgrade

so i was driving down 287 towards waxahachie, tx and my car started to bog down and my battery light came on...i pulled overto the side of the road to check it out and theres coolant overflowing everywhere and my timing chain covor is melting. it drove amazingly for the entire 2 hours i was driving it and all of a sudden this happened. it seems to be leaking mainly from the hoses and the resovoir tank but i was just wondering if i might have killed my motor from overheat, or whatever the problem might be...also looking into zc swaps right now ^_^

anyone help? ive searched and keep getting mixed answers

EDIT:probably a bad alternator too

You have a timing belt, not chain.

Take the upper cover off, it's only a few 10mm bolts. I'm gonna say it's your waterpump, same thing happened to me
