Have a Bobcat 758 with Kubota diesel. Was running hot and lost water. Changed antifreeze and oil. Now antifreeze is dripping out the bottom tube on the air canister. Air intake hose going to intake is dry. Any suggestions as to what it might be? Thanks

If it got hot, it probably cracked the head. Be careful, if its cracked enough to fill a pot with coolant, it can hydraulic and destroy your engine when a con rod breaks and punches a hole in the block.

you think when you filled it back up with antifreeze that you spilled some and it went down the air cleaner intake hose in the radiator compartment

I didn't read that you mentioned that the intake was dry, Fishfiles has a good point. Its easy for it to spill and drip... well... everywhere!
As you mentioned it got hot and has lost water, you still may have a cracked head or blown head gasket, keep an eye on the coolant level.
