Default radiator cracked??

problemms! o i hate them.
ok i was driving hard one night and seems that one of my rad. hoses broke or something and came loose. so coolant shot out of that, hit the fans and sends it flying all over my engine bay, and smoking and whatnot. i didnt think it was a big deal so i put a new one back on, new clamps on all of them, then flushed and filled the rad.
so the next morning im headed to school and the mob starts smoking like no other!
it looked like it was coming from between the 2 fans on the rad. it stopped smoking so i thought it was just some extra burning from my engine bay.
but now im very low on coolant and its been about a week since i filled it.
sound like its cracked or something what should i do?

put a piece of cardboard under the bay when u park it..
the next morning youll notice if u have a leak or not..

use brake cleaner to clean important areas like hose ends/clamp joints..
might be leaking a little where the clamp is..

hth
good luck
