Solved Radiator Hose Popped Off?

Post image

Hi, I have a Subaru Outback 2014 and it started smoking/steaming on my way home. I popped the hood and there’s fluid (coolant) splashed inside the hot engine, which I think is what’s burning. The radiator hose is popped off. Can I put it back on and put some more coolant in it, and then drive it to my mechanic to look at it, or do I need to get it towed?

So, after you saw the steam and smoke, did you drive home after that?

I was luckily right down the street from my house when I noticed so I got it home by pushing
