Coolant spray

Coolant spray
So I happened to be behind a motorcycle at a stop light. The light turned green and he did this crazy wheelie, and I decided to keep up and opened the throttle up. Well I suddenly get this hot sensation on my foot/pantleg. Sure enough, it's coolant. It only seems to spray when the car is under heavy load, and I'm not sure where it is coming from.
I'm guessing it's the heater core metal lines, but at the same time I would think that if that was cracked, it would be leaking constantly. My second guess is that it's spraying inside the cabin from the rubber lines that connect to the heater core, but it's dry inside the engine bay.
Any experience from this?

Wow our cars must be on the same "cycle" cause this just happened to me. It finally gave out completely the other day. My metal lines going in and out of the firewall are cracked. Looks like you are up in canananananda so you will probably need to keep the heater core. As for me, it's coming out.
