Smoking!!! Ahh!
Okay so today i fixed the leak coming from my water pump. refilled the radiator with coolant/antifreeze/water. I let it run. the leak is fixed buuuuuuuut.... the radiator started smooking
 . i let it cool. found that there was some anti-freeze that i spilt on it and thought it was just that vaporating off. but i drove it and it smoked. my temp gauge is at normal running temp for my jeep so im stumped as to wat is going on

run the jeep and get it up to temp and then stop and let it idle while you look around the engine bay. sometimes it takes a little while to evaporate a spill, but if you notice a constant wet spot chances are your rad has a leak. you should be able to trace it though.

no biggie. you spilled antifreeze... it'll smoke until it's all gone... which will take a while. just watch your temp gauge and ignore the smoke
