Default Possibly head gaskets????

I have a 2001 Honda Accord 3.0 V6 , got home today shut car off heard a noise under the hood opened the hood and found coolant bubbling and coming out of reservoir and the top and bottom coolant hose’s are flat , I was thinking head gaskets but I’m not 100% sure didn’t check oil to see if it was milky or not , and car didn’t over heat either

Did you notice any overheating issues recently?

Head gasket is possible. Could also be a bad radiator cap.

When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap, and fill up the radiator. start the engine. Look for gas bubbles coming from the radiator.

If your engine starts overheating, turn on the heat in the car full blast to help cool the engine. I'd also keep some coolant in the car. Water will work in a pinch.

There wasn’t any over heating issues , the gauge stayed where it normally does
