i was driving to go to a movie tonight and i noticed my temp gauge fluctuating pretty badly so i get off the freeway and notice steam coming from the hood. i pull over as soon as i can and pop the hood to see coolant all over my motor. i am just lucky i caught it b4 it did overheat. since it was late and dark outside i couldn't see where the leak was coming from. where would be the first place that i should check?
i hope it's just some tubing and not the radiator cuz that would be a lot less of a problem for me. going to pick up the car when i wake up and have my dad check it out to see what's wrong. any help would be much appreciated. i just hope my work won't mind that i may have to call in.

Check fluid level, tstat, rad cap. Check the easy ones first before the more expensive stuff.

Check the easy ones first before the more expensive stuff. turns out there was a crack in the radiator. i just couldn't see anything last night cuz how dark it was. as soon as i opened the hood the crack was as clear as day. thanks for the input though. ended up dropping in a koyo radiator. not too complicated at all. -------------------- |
