I drove from Minneapolis to St. Paul, about 20 miles. right when i got to my Father-in-law house and knocking on the door, i turned back and look at my 95 ingetra, there, where i saw some smoke coming from the hood. so i open the hood and saw some anti frezzz on the right top side of my the Radiator. i was thinking, the radiator prolly broken or there might be a crack somewhere.. BUT how the F*** that happen???? anyone ever had this happen to their Radiator??

That just happens sometimes. Just buy a new one and pitch that one in the garbage.

they wear out and fail just like other car parts...i had that happen to my 95 accord

they are easy to replace yourself, you will get quoted at about 600 to replace it and the hoses, you can do it yourself for about 200 (with aftermarket radiator) or 325 (oem radiator)

You can get a fluidyne for $300+ and swap it yourself. Be sure to let the car sit overnight and do the work in the morning. That way you don't have to worry about dealing with hot coolant. You could also call up a salvage yard and get an oem rad or probably fine one online.
