Default Massive coolant leak

Hello guys, I posted on the D3 forum as I have a 2005 Audi A8L 4.2. but I'm trying to get some more information. Since the last timing belt job last month, car has been running just fine with no leaks whatsoever. However, 2 days ago, a leak developed on the front passenger side around the water cooler alternator. It's such a bad leak to the point where if you put in a large bottle of coolant or water, it drains out in just 4-5 minutes completely. I think it's a hose that dry rotted or came loose, but since the oil cooler is on that side of the engine, if it's bad, could it leak out that fast and at that magnitude? Any ideas?
