Car overheating, help me please
From under my distributure, actually maybe next to it, i see a puddle forming, of black and green. Heres my story.
I just got home, right when I situated myself in my parking spot, my temp needle shot up to H, and smoke started comming out. Anyways, I jumped outa my car hella fast, because I could hear this hissing sound comming from it, and about 15 minutes later I came back to it, hissing sound still there, but very faint, i checked under, liquid everywhere, all over the place floor, under the car, I touched it green. So im thinking coolant, perfect possbile explanation, radiator leak and or some tubes mest up somewhere, about 30 minutes pass, i open up the hood, i dont really notice anyything leaking, all i see is that some wires right under the distributor are a bit wet, but there is this tube right next to them, at it seems to have a few wetspots too(under that i see some greenish/black forming, if i look directly down i see the bottom completely covered in green.
So I took out the reservoir bottle and it was completely empty, i filled her back up, and its fine now, but I still saw some leaking...
any ideas guys?

yup time for a new radiator the same **** happened to me with those lightweight rinky dinky **** radiators get a metal one cause when the plastic ones go man they go in the worst way and when you least expect it. also check your thermostat just to make sure and see if your fans cool **** off. also pidasso what shot you runnin on the zex bro?
