installed my new radiator today, after driving around for about 5mins i noticed smoked coming from under the hood... both hoses were on tight so is it the radiator that was messed up? at first it didnt drip but a drop and after 5 mins of driving, in which i hit full boost once or twice and the rest was just regular driving. the temp needle only reached the half way point before i got my car home and turned it off.
i didnt bleed all the air out of the cooling system, does that seem like the result, of what i mentioned above? could i have f*cked anything up?

i thought i blew a head gasket or something but the overfill bottle is the same and theres no oil in it or anything, so if i just bleed the air out will it be ok? or what can i check for to see if anything is messed up


it just keeps purging out from somewhere i cant see, not at first, but when the car warms out it starts coming out like purge and drips

 

definatly just bleed the air out, sounds like thats ur problem.

 

when u install a new radiator, ur suppose to keep the cap off, turn on the car and pour radiator fluid in it. this will make sure u dont have air bubbles in the system which can cause heatspots on the cylinder walls and thats bad.
