The other day I smelt coolant and noticed steam/smoke after I got home from work. I popped my hood and noticed coolant on top of the radiator, and little splashes all over (on the air intake, the coolant reservoir, the hoses) and there were small puddles on the under tray. I'm going to do more looking into it first thing Saturday morning but I want to know what I could might expect. Could it be a cracked radiator, bad hose, or water pump? The weather here in Alabama just went from hot to almost freezing cold and it'd the first time I've used my heat since last winter. Could this have something to do with my problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

More then likely it is a busted hose. Pull up the factory service manual for the coolant system and follow from top to bottom the connections and connectors!
