Radiator !!

So while i'm driving 'check coolant level' appears. I pull into the sunoco and get some antifreeze.

Open the hood up and notice coolant all over in the engine bay. Wait a couple of minutes fill up with coolant and notice that it does not go anywhere...no leaks under the car nothing. I start her up again and look at the radiator only to see to jet streams of coolant coming out of it towards the engine...

Shut her off call tow truck...take it home...

Now I am replacing the radiator...that's a 1st for me since it never was changed....

Now I really do not think this was necessarily 'only' a radiator problem.

Pressure buildup which could have caused the damage to the radiator itself...I am also replacing the radiator cap...

Everything else seems in good shape...

Found Behr direct replacement for about $280...but not sure also tried bavauto...most dealers around here have parts closed...or want to charge $480
