Thank you. My first step is getting home. I may skip having a dealer diagnose it and have it towed home to do it myself. That makes me feel better about it not being a head gasket. The problem is there's so much fluid I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Especially if it's a hose under or near the plenum there's so much shit around it.

You might be able to do the fill test in your work parking lot. Maybe simple as loose coolant cap.
But cheap tow would be easy choice to take.AAA (Tows can get expensive. Dodgy crowd.)
