Default Need help

I recently noticed a puddle of antifreeze under my 98 cobra, so I investigated. The puddle was towards the back of the engine, so i checked the heater hoses and came up empty. Then I noticed anitfreeze all along where the injectors are, and underneath the intake on top of the block on the passenger side only. I checked the dipstick for antifreeze in the oil, but for some reason there is no oil on the dipstick, which concerns me because i just changed it 500 miles ago....anyone else think its a head gasket?

open up your oil fill cap and see if it's covered with a white film or slime. This would be the coolant trying to escape via evaporation. You could have a bad waterpump, but highly doubtful with that much coolant. It doesn't take much oil from the bottom of the dipstick to the top, maybe a little more than 1/3 qt. You could have easily burned that if you are a wreckless driver..lol
