Oh man this can't be good. Tell me the oil still looks good. That would be a plus!

You can try it, but if you didn't change anything then air is getting in.

Most of the time a bad intake gasket lets coolant out(no air gets in).
As for a hose, coolant would be coming out.
That is good news on the oil. Any steam coming out of the exhaust?

It would be coming out when it is running. Try the burp and see if it comes back. If it does I'm thinking head gasket.

LOL I'd bet your right. Having a 95 I forget about the older cars.
