Default Cat is sick. Coolant leak. Flat tow truck Q

Doing a small road trip this weekend. From Orlando, to Clearwater, to Ormond Beach and back to Orlando. Just got on the interstate to head home and low coolant light came on. As I had just topped it off before we left on the trip, I was concerned and got immediately off and stopped.

Popped the hood and I have coolant sprayed on the driver side of the can shroud. As it is raining good right now, did not look further. AAA has a flat tow truck on the way to pick us up a d to take us 60 miles to All Jaguar in Longwood.

Anything to be aware of concerning a flat tow?

It should be stowed near the jack in the center of the spare tire in the trunk...assumimg you have one. You need to lift the trunk floor, unscrew the spare and lift it.
