Default Help! Engine overheating + huge coolant leak

Hello everyone! It's a sad day for jessica(my audi) as I've just finished replacing coils and spark plugs, adding new rotors, and replacing the coolant resivoir. She is starting to have overheating issues, along with a MAJOR coolant leak. I made a video to help explain what I'm talking about. Can anyone help?

My flash player is crashing, so I can't see you video, but where is the coolant coming from? Did it begin leaking after you replaced the reservoir?

There's not a lot anyone here can do with the data you've provided. You've got to get in there and look for the leak. I saw steam coming up from the back of the motor. That makes me think you blew a heater hose. That's where I'd start looking. But the only person who can stick there eyes and hands down around the various hoses is you.

Check the coolant flange too.
