My Radiator's Smoking Help!!!
 

Ok guys I came home from school today and i saw lil smoke coming from the hood at a light so I got home and right away popped the hood. What do I see? Smoke coming out of the radiator and tiny sprays of green antifreeze sprayed everywhere. Then I look in my coolant reservoir and its like all way the bottom. I kno guys ur gonna flame me for runnin it this low but my gauge was in normal I swear im always looking at my temperature gauge. And todays first time I saw it smoking so it must not of been like this too long. What kinda damage do you think I did and what am I going to have to do to fix this? Im going back outside right now to fill the reservior.

1st dont sweat it it happens to all of us!!! You have to determine where the leak is coming from? Top, bottom? Upper radiator hose bottom radiator hose, water pump, thermostat bypass? Just check all hoses and look and feel to see if you can locate the sweet smell of anti-freeze, once you have located it just swap out the hoses, make sure u have a container so u can catch the anti-freeze, and make sure to do this while the car is cold not hot!! Then refill the resovoir with water and anti-freeze and top off the radiator. Let the car run to normal temp and check for leaks make sure to use new clamps on the changed hoses not the old ones!!! Let me know!
