here's another free bump for you as far as i know there really isnt anything back there that you could have hurt to cause you to lose that much coolant that fast, is your dic flashing low coolant and did you notice any smoke out of the exhaust? i wish i could be of help but i hate it when i have questions and no one responds to me.
i would say do an oil change and see if theres any coolant in the oil and then refill your coolant drive around and watch it and see of you can find a leak somewhere

I think on the back of the engine there is a tube that runs from the water pump to the other side of the engine that after market headers when tightend down can push against it causing a leak. I remember somone said something about having to bend a tab then rotating the pipe to get clearance so the header would clear. Cant find a pic but I think it was called coolant tube.
