Heater hose fitting!
The heater hose fitting on my car has broken right before I got into town :/
I was driving down the rode and smoke was going everywhere
Got out back of the car was covered in antifreeze and so was the engine bay.
Doing a little investigative work at home found out it was the heater hose fitting.
No fun

Those are commonly called a "coolant elbow" and they are prone to failure due to what they are constructed of.
