Radiator Leak

Radiator Leak
I have a 97 Civic Lx, I noticed some white smoke coming out of the hood, and when I checked I noticed I was out of coolant. So after the car cooled off I refilled it with coolant and ran the engine, I noticed coolant slowly gathering on a sponge-like gaurd at the top of the radiator, is my radiator busted? How hard is that to fix?

RE: Radiator Leak
You need to do a pressure test.If it is the tank the plastic piece, that can be replaced it is easier just to replace the whole thing I have a 92 and it takes me like ten min or less to remove it.

RE: Radiator Leak
I have a 98' ex and the plastic part of the radiator cracked a few days ago. it was right by where the foam stuff is. i replaced it with a radiator that i bought from autozone. it's wider than the stock one but works great. it cost me $103 and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. it's an alternative that ain't too expensive.
