Default Radiator is steaming....??????

I ran my car pretty hard about 2 days ago and blew the radiator cap off my radiator. After replacing the cap the radiator is steaming from the spines or (ribs) all the time, do you fellaz think the Radiator is a blown or just the residue from the coolant steaming off!!!!! I checked all hoses and seams, they all seem dry and sealed! Thanks for any input!

you more than likely just pushed to hard on a small weak spot on the radiator and it is just a pin hole leaking.... try some radiator sealent.... like barsleak

BAD idea

fix the problem, dont put a bandaid on it

remember that sealing **** circulates throughout your entire cooling system

heater core, water pump, etc.
