Default car smoking! cracked radiator

ok, i got home tonight from about a 10 mile drive and when i pulled into my driveway i noticed there was some smoke coming out of the front of my car.. so i popped the hood and there was little to no coolant in the reserve... there was a bunch of collected coolant on top of the fans like right below the radiator cap, im guessing that is where the crack is..

this sounds like a typical cracked radiator to u guys?

if infact it is cracked, most likely is, should i get a new stock one or go for a fluidyne? where is the cheapest place to find radiators for 3rd gen integras?

thanks
chris

Mine cracked there a couple days ago... just got a new one for about $120 US from Canadian Tire. I think the consensus is http://www.radiators.com or something like that has the best service and prices.

ok, i found a OEM style one for 120.. i guess its a generic. I found a fluidyne for 365 seems like a really good deal.. I havent called acura to see what a OEM one goes for..

IS the fluidyne really worth the extra money or will i be fine with a generic or OEM? remember im goin FI in a few weeks so im thinken fluidyne might be a wise investment..

thanks
chris
