Ive been having an issue with my car overheating and when i open the hood and smoke clears theres coolant sprayed and dripping all over the engine within 15 minutes mainly in the front but sprayed everywhere even on the windshield i checked but couldnt find any leaks the second time it had overheated it squealed while pressing the throddle the harder id press the louded and faster the squeal would get so i turned off the car and coolant all over the engine again but now when i start the car it squeals and smoke comes out of the alternator right away so i dont leave it on, i dont know if its related but a day before the first overheat i had put a 14$ 5L jug of oil in the engine because i was short on cash and needed oil could that have caused all of this somehow?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Just starting car

Hello, simply put - testing must be performed by pressure testing the cooling system to find where the coolant is coming out from. It could be as simple as a leaking hose that needs to be replaced. Keep in mind that your 16 year old vehicle has hoses that should have been replaced twice by now (7 years is a good gauge for belt and hose life).
I'm not sure about the oil you added -- although I'm concerned you added so much oil? This wouldn't have anything to do with the cooling system.
It's just hard to know without hands on professional inspection. You really need the help. You may be short on cash, but spending a little on professional assessment could be critical to not losing tons of money.
