Default Radiator Problems

Enclosed are the pics. It looks like either there is a crack along the top of the radiator (there is antifreeze lining the top all around), or it just blew out (thermostat?).

it's time to replace the radiator - prett sure. damn those plastic topped radiators. i replaced mine a month ago. check for hairline cracks - dry up the top part of radiator and start the car and check for leaks.

Sweet guys, thanks for the info.

Normally you'd think it would be something besides the radiator but I've heard of them cracking and since the entire top is leaking that's what it looks like.

Tim - thanks for the link too.
