If it was smoking and smelled of antifreeze than you definately blew a radiator line i believe. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew2944r Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thermostat more than likely needs replacing, when one goes out it will typically make the radiator overflow because of excess heat. Quote Team Ampere Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeejayBee Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 You just blew the radiator to your coolant i used to do to that with my 91 cutlass i replaced it atleast three times b.c it was a beater car . But if it smells bad its deff coolant , that stuff is so nasty just when you drive dont step on your gas to hard and try to get it to a shop asap. -TeeJay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudski Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Check to see if any of your hoses or blown or anything. its night right now cant do much... but lets say its either of the 2 thermostat or just a hose how much do u think the repair would be?

That too. I've seen it happen on a tractor before. Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
