Car: 1991 Infiniti Q45

Post

I was accelerating onto the interstate and my 91 Q45 shut down. I managed to restart it and it sputtered to the next exit with a top speed of 50 mph downhill. Uphill it topped out at 40 mph. When I arrived at the next off ramp it shut down and wouldn't start. It was emitting steam and antifreeze was leaking from underneath the engine behind the passenger side headlight. The temperature gauge was normal and no information was in the message center. It has 153k miles on it. Please help we are without transportation.

T3 Automotive [Lawrenceville Highway Decatur, GA opens 8 am Monday] is less than 20 miles a short flat bed away...........never tow with rear wheels on the ground - destroys transmission!

Steam and leaking coolant and a subsequent shut down is never good.
