Default DId i Break Something?or not

Well last night i was driving home, and decided to check out my new stage 2 upgrade. so i opened it up a few times and then got to a stop light. i decided to drop the clutch to see how much faster it was(i've done this maybe 5 times since i have owned my car).

Anyways i drive home and while i am in the drive way i see some steam coming out from under my car, alot so i get out and there is a puddle of green liquid i am guessing coolant. i shut it off and go to bed.

i woke up this morning to check on it and it started up fine and was not leaking. so what should i do up some more coolant in there or just leave it.

sorry for the noob question i just want to make sure i didnt break something since i just modded my car.

Did you let the car heat up properly or just start it?

sounds like you overheated it. did you check the temp gauge last night?
its kinda hard to say if you damaged anything.

either you overheated it or you popped off the coolant line on the turbo. also i wouldn't drop your clutch unless you plan on spending 3-4 grand to fiix your tranny. put the stress on your clutch and slip it otherwise shit will start breaking.
