Hello all, been away a while, the Disco has been running great until about an hour ago. While returning home from work, my ac started blowing warm and I smelled that awesome smell of coolant. I pulled off into a parking lot to see the entire engine bay covered in coolant and the hose that goes to the top of the thermostat blown off. I inspected the hose and thermostat and saw no damage. I let it cool down and had a friend bring me another clamp and some coolant, filled it up, bled out the air and continued home. The first thing that comes to mind is the head gasket, however, I checked the oil and saw no water droplets and the oil was not milky. There was no coolant coming out of the exhaust either. I searched online and found only a handful of similar posts that had no true answers. Am I looking at a thermostat issue? A bad clamp? Or the dreaded HG failure? I got it back home without any issues but need guidance where to go from there.
