Blown engine

Hey everyone I had to drive my really low civic through a huge puddle in my neighborhood and it was making these very odd sounds after. That happened yesterday and today I was parked and the engine blew and what looked like red smoke to me was coming from the hood and green liquid was leaking out from under the car. It's my fault for not paying attention to the heat gauge. Any input?

The water was nearly pouring in when I opened the door.

Re: Blown engine

i suppose you have a cold air intake? If so, they are low enough to get dipped in the water and suck water like a camel thirst after several days in the desert...
