my radiater is leaking coolant!

i noticed steam comming from there so i checked and the coolant has built up at the base of the radiater,it's leaking slowly i think its the hose that runs at the bottom of the radiater.i was racing my cousin yesterday in his n/a z got up to 135mph ,could that have caused this promblem?

I dont know..

but be sure to go into the dealer and say "my radiator leaks at 135" that'd be a kodak moment.

I went in for a vibration at 80-90. They started giving me crap and I told them that it was those long Texas interstates. He smiled and said 'lets check that tire'. (was out of round).

i dont know if the speed had anything to do with it.... but I'd get it checked out.... I wonder if they would blame any of those mods on your leaky radiator.... I hope not..

Did you win the race?
What was the cause of the problem?
