Antifreeze leak

Sent to Car Experts September 13 01:26 PM

I have a huge antifreeze leak that happened in a matter of about a half hour. Its green in color and comming from somewhere under the front of the car. I am wondering what could possibly be the problem with it and how pricey is it to fix? I just had an oil seal plug thing replaced and have been told that the head gasket has a crack and needs to be replaced. I am driving a 93 toyota camery with about 230,000 miles on it. I had the radiator replaced about 2 years ago. I am at a loss as to how its leaking and how its leaking so fast. Thank you for any help you can provide.
