Civic radiator question?
Hey guys quick question I have a 96 civic ex. I just replaced the radiator and fan with a mishimoto kit and it works fine but when I step on the gas and I get to stop light I see smoke coming out of the hood but when I pulled over and checked the engine I had no leaks but I noticed that coolant came from somewhere and it got on the engine but it's not overheating. It only smokes a little bit when I push the car and I don't know it's it's coming from the radiator cap or if it's the overflow tank, the cap is also a mishimoto. Any info will be greatly appreciated thank you.

Re: Civic radiator question?
test the cap like he said, but to be honest in my opinion it might be a head gasket. when you go into higher rpms with a bad gasket your coolant will shoot back into the resovoir and some may spray out and evaporate off the motor so itll steam looking like smoke.
