It started a few days ago. We can drive it less than 5 miles before it sprays off and causes smoke from the burn off on the engine. I know the coolant level is correct. I am not losing enough during the spray off to be noticed besides the mess it leaves and I am finally getting so frustrated because I am still paying for this one.
There is a crack in your hose. You may not see it at first but squeeze the hose and you'll probably find the crack. Not an expensive fix.

First the "service engine soon" light is a manufacturer installed reminder for you to get an oil change or other pre-determined maintenance service done. It is different than the "check engine" light which indicates a sensor malfunction. Secondly, when the engine is cold the thermostat is closed and the antifreeze or coolant is not circulating. The cooling system is a closed system and the tank that the cap is on is not an overflow tank but rather an expansion tank. This tank allows for the expanding coolant that is now hot to leave the engine coolant jackets, that won't expand, into a tank that can expand slightly. When your engine got to normal operating temp., aka.. hot, the thermostat opened allowing coolant to circulate and fill the expansion tank probably over flowing with the cap off. This is a normal operation for your car.

Belts stretch from new. Try to tighten them again. Hopefully the are not glazed or this may stay with you.

Probably still some left in the heater core. Should quit after a while, or try blowing it out. I would even flush it with water first. Better to have water leaking than antifreeze. At least your dog can lick it and not die!
