Help please... Coolant leaking bad
Well I changed the oil today and after I pull out to let the car run and circulate the oil I right away notice coolant leaking from the passenger side, inside and in front of the tire. It started to run up my driveway so I had to put a frisbee underneath to catch it. Before when I was jacking the car up on that side the jack slipped a little but I didnt think the jack made any contact with the car and nothing leaked then. My guess is while I was struggling with either the oil pan bolt or oil filter I hit a coolant line somewhere... however it is very hard to see without being directly under it, which is a problem because it is still dripping.
Is there a better way to see exactly what is going on?

Are you sure it's coolant? Those hoses are pretty far out of reach when changing the oil. Your best bet is to go in there and find the source of the leak yourself. It might be a busted radiator hose and the coolant is just trailing down and dripping somewhere else.

If you have a 5 speed, the only coolant "line" you are going to have on the pass. side is the upper radiator hose. Like Hyper stated, you're pretty far away from any coolant lines when changing the oil.
