Default XKR dumping coolant

Just popped out to the shops, came back to the car and had a waterfall of coolant from back of the engine pouring out. Got it home its stopped leaking, waiting for it cool to inspect it futher. Anyone got anytips of where to start looking?

Am near sure its the octopus thing, check the coolant level and it still has some in the tank. Am guessing I turned the AC on and something down there went. I turned it on with the AC off and seems to be no leaks. Thank you for the help!

After further inspection seems to be a hose coming out of the supercharger!
