Hello good morning, I would like to know which mount causes the flex pipe to burst? Also, since I jacked up my engine to work on it it started leaking coolant why? did I pinch a hose?

Any worn engine mounts can cause enough movement to damage the flex pipe, as well as the other engine mounts. However seeing as how the car is 19 years old if that part is original it could have just worn out normally. It would be no surprise though for engine mounts to be shot after nearly two decades.

Most likely because you damaged an old hose. That's if you're lucky. If you're unlucky a corroded core plug may have started leaking. You need to find the source of the leak.
