Hey guys,On the way to dropping my friend off 2nite, my car's temp gauge started to slowly rise above normal levels. I predicted the car to be overheating, but what was weird was there was no hot air blowing in from the fan. We got to his house and he noticed my hood smoking as we went in. I popped the hood and on the left, (I have an 89 240sx hatch), there were 2 containers, i think one was wiper fluid and the other could have been the overflow bottle for the radiator? It was smoking around there, it was probably the overflow container. Then i unscrewed the radiator cap and maddd smoke came out, and i felt like water was gonna come out if i unscrewed more, i heard it gurgling. I stopped the car, let all the smoke out, and started agin to see if i could make it home, 5 mins away, but after 2 mins, that side with the 2 containeres started smoking again. So im not sure whats going on? Maybe a radiator leak? New antifreeze needed? I hope its nothing serious, my dad is gona kill me, esp if we need a new radiator or anything else. Any help would be appreciated.
