I have a leak pouring out steam from my radiator at top of grill area. It is under the cap. It actually is directly under the long part above the top of radiator. Where the cap is located. Underneath, spewing from the fibered aluminum threads.

The car will still run, but Ive been leaking coolant from a hose. Its very slight. Just havent to readjusting the connection/pipe.
It hasnt been a problem......but it was hot in texas today, so it started to blow some steam.

Does this mean I need a new radiator?

I can turn a wrench. Have done many procedures. Shady tree mechanic.
Can try and understand anything you throw at me, because I also have factory repair manual.

thanks for time, and helping out with some specs.

 

If the steam is coming out of that radiator it is going to have to be replaced.

Most Accords this is a pretty simple procedure - nothing special, just a little time.

What year and engine set up is your Accord?

 

Its a 98 Accord with 4 cyliner engine.

thanks for the quik reply

It looks double layered in this area from visual inspection. Does this have two radiators?

thanks for your response, and service lieutenant

 

The radiator is closer to the engine. The other "radiator" is the a/c condenser is closer to the front of the vehicle and has nothing to do with the coolant.
