Leak under radiator
hello,
I have a 1995 civic and yesterday as i was driving i noticed the temperature gauge absolutely maxed out. i was a few minutes away from home so i managed to get home. i checked under the hood and noticed my coolent reservoir was all the way empty and there was coolent around the radiator and surrounding parts. so i bought new coolent today and added it to both the reservoir and radiator. i let the car run for a couple mins and it started to heat up again and the gauge got 75% of the way up to the top. i then checked under the car and saw a good puddle of coolent right under the radiator. i’m not too mechanically inclined but would this mean i have a faulty raditor?
any help would be appreciated,
thanks

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Leak under radiator
head gasket probably. maybe warped the head.
PLUS determine and address

Overheating or loss of coolant, heater blowing cold
