My coolant problem

So last night i decided to do a little pull from 3rd-4th, as I'm in fourth i look and my gage is above normal so i turn the car off and pull over.
car is pouring out coolant the front passenger side looks like a hose from some sort of core.
i haven't even looked at it but anyone have any thoughts of what it might be. I'm just being lazy at this point. i was able to let it cool down and drive it home

How is this an idling problem? What gauge? I'm guessing temp? Open the hood and check coolant lines for leaks. No one can diagnose a car over the net. It's all guess work

Front passenger side of the engine bay? That hose would be your lower radiator hose. Best way to safely diagnose it is to pressure test the coolant system and slowly pressureize it until you start seeing the leaks. If you dont have a tester Im pretty sure you can rent them at autozone.
