Massive Coolant Leak

Hello all,
I've asked this board about a few issues that have cropped up with my 96 900se (manual) over the last few years, and I've never been steered wrong.
--
The other day I was parking in a parking garage and when I shut off the car, I noticed a huge pool of liquid coming out from under my car. It spread extremely rapidly.
Upon examination I discovered that it was coolant, and when I checked under the hood, I saw that it leaked out the entire coolant reservoir in the span of about one minute.
I tried discovering the location of the leak, but I really can't tell. It looks like it comes out from behind the engine, closer to the firewall on the passenger side. When looking under the car from the side, it is dripping off of the exhaust
I let it sit a couple days, then refilled it again, and managed to drive it to my apartment before it leaked out again (slower leak rate) and she drove perfectly... plenty of power, felt and sounded smooth... but of course, it was almost empty by the time I got home (appx 2 miles).
I really don't have the skill/expertise to hunt this problem down on my own. I doubt it's a blown gasket cause that was replaced a few thousand miles ago and there was no oil leaking. Any ideas as to where it could be leaking from?
