First thing,you do have a leak if it go,s through that much coolant that quick,and if you dont see coolant coming out some where under radiator or engine,there is a internal leak,meaning going out the exhaust,have some one rev car,and you check the exhaust with a rag,if it gets damp,you have engine problem,s.
Is there a reason it wouldnt smoke though?
Have seen them do this without smoking at all,just blow drops of water out.
if it does pour out under the engine, where is the leak coming from?
Could be bad heater hose or freeze plug,
