parked it outside of shoe sensation and came out after 5 minutes or so and
there was a pool of coolant under my car its got a 3.9L V6 it's a retired police

Most likely you have a bad water pump or cracked head. Might be a radiator hose leak or bad connection, but that would be too lucky.
Not good, sounds like a blown head gasket problem, you can buy a DIY kit from your local parts store and just follow the directions.
A worn out timing chain can cause heat soaking (what you're describing). Does the engine also lack power? Does the transmission shift late? More systems of a worn timing chain. Hope that helps! Jim
no it still runs good everything
Any white smoke out the tail pipe when first started cold, maybe a slight misfire when first started? Not enough for the check engine light to turn on. I'm still leaning to a blown headgasket.
