From what appeared to be out of nowhere, steam started coming out of my radiator. And it appeared to be to the right side of the radiator mainly. Alot of steam and water all over my carport. Then, of course, my temp light went to hot. I know that's a no-brainer! So....does that automatically equal a new radiator?? Or, could there be a busted hose or something else. Thanks.

flashlight? find source of leak. it is possible that it is only a hose leak, but often the plastic hose barbs on the radiator fail requiring total replacement. Not that expensive though.
