Default Radiator Problems

Well I just realized my car was running on hot when I pulled in the parking lot and my engine was starting to smell funny.

I looked inside of my engine bay and there is radiator fluid all on the left side, kind of looked like it just sprayed everywhere. (where the intake and everything is). I checked the radiator fluid and it was just right below min. Just by visual inspection I cant see anything wrong w/ the radiator.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well i just had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. i had a small hole in the middle of the radiator, you cant see it by just looking at it in the engine bay...u gotta pull it out and fill it up with water to test for leaks. check both hoses too. good luck.

yeah, could be a pin hole in the radiator, could also be a leak in the hose due to just a pin hole or clamp being lose or something..
