smoke from radiator cap please help

The cap must be bad. Because of the temperature and pressure, there will be "smoke" which is actually steam, but anywho. Make sure the cap is on alllll the way, and then try replacing it. Cheap fix.

yeh but he would overheat all the time from that. I would hope the headgasket is the last step. Its not like changing the gas cap.

check where your radiator cap goes onto. on mine it leaks because its chipped a little. and the cap doesn't lock tight. so i have a little antifreeze leaks. which creates the smoke i see. good thing i have a good radiator i just need to replace it.
