Default Antifreeze spill

I was driving to my friends house...trying to baby my transmission cuz it's about a week from going out when my car all of a sudden started to get a little hotter than usual. I kept going trying to make it to my friends house about 5 minutes away and it got hotter and smoke started coming out the hood. I pulled over and popped the hood and antifreeze was everywhere. I haven't gotten a chance to get under the car yet, but I couldn't see anything from up top. Is there any other possibility than maybe a radiator hose or something popped off? It's parked and locked up right now...I'm not taking any chances.

most likely a radiator hose if it was all over the place.

hopefully not a headgasket.

was there smoke coming out of the exhaust?

its most likely just the radiator hose, check to make sure it is on tight , if its not that you might have just busted the hose and it just needs to be replaced
