this time its my radiator. the coolant is seeping out the top, and burning on its way down, resulting in a thick white smoke from under my hood. scared the shit out of me, but thankfully (i mean, its not the engine blowing up) its just the radiator.

man this car is good business for my mechanic.

Is it the radiator, or just the radiator hose? With any luck, it has something to do with the hose.

Oh, and gotta love that smell, huh >_>

it looks like its the very top of the radiator itself, that runs horizontally that leads to the cap. is that a hose? im not to sure about how radiators are built.

Sounds like the reservoir hose maybe. Just push stuff together

It comes in hot at the top, if the supply line is leaking that could cause issues. If it's coming from the radiator itself, it's got a crack or other leak, might be repairable without a new radiator tho
