Hey guys. Yesterday I was driving and i noticed little puffs of white smoke come from under my hood. That night I popped it and it looked like the coolant exploded on the front of my engine. I dont see any leaks around the hoses, and when I jack my car from the driver side, the coolant seems to be traveling from the driver side of the radiator to the passenger side. This is all happening on the top of the radiator btw. My heat stopped working, and I'm debating on whether or not to just buy a radiator, but I've never had this issue in my life. Any ideas as to what else the leak might be? Also, if it was the radiator, I would only need a new radiator, and not a new "core" right?

 

I had the same exact thing happen to me recently. My radiator was leaking from the plastic head/top.

Just replace the radiator... Prob sovled.

 

Yeah not to bring up an old thread, after I replaced it the problem stopped. I'm surprised how cheap a radiator was. only 55$ off of ebay. I messed up the first time cuz there are 2 different radiators. One with a "square" slot on the bottom and one with a "Circle/oval" slot...
