Cooling system

[emachines143]

When I first turn the car on it runs fine. However there is a very small hole on top of my radiator. After it warms up the gauge says the car is overheating and then there is smoke that comes out of the exhaust. And when I turn the A/C on then the engine starts to like misfire but it still runs. I think when i turn the a/c on the coolant gets burned and gets thrown out of the exhaust but idk.

classic symptom of a blown headgasket or leaky intake gasket due to overheating..you need to repair the radiator and check the intake gasket first..if your still burning coolent after the intake gasket is replaced..then its time to replace the headgasket..thats the only way i can explain this too you in a simple term..i hope this helps some.

Okay. I will repair the radiator. I hope it's not the head gasket. My father is a mechanic and he doen't think it is the head gasket.
