MASSIVE COOLANT LEAK! 200

As of today, I found a large, running puddle of coolant coming from the driver's side of my Volvo 240GL. I put in a significant amount, and still the coolant leaks. Because it is dark, and the leak is coming from behind the front shield underneath the car, I cannot find the source of the leak.

But, when I turn on the battery, a fan comes on behind my dash even though the blower is not turned on.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Also, would it be possible to drive 10 miles with leak, so long as I make sure it's filled up before leaving?

Thanks!
