Do I have radiator problems?

[whin9000]

This morning after driving to work I noticed some white smoke coming out of the front of my car. I popped open the hood and the smoke looked like it was coming from the radiator area.

I checked my antifreeze reservoir and it looks like it was a little above max level. I also checked my temperature gauge and it was not over heating or anything, almost in the middle between H and C. I also didn't notice any sort of puddle in my garage but I'll probably have to check that again when I get home tonight.

After reading around about white smoke, it really seems like I have a radiator leak or some sort of radiator problem ... What do you guys think?

If weather could play a factor, this morning was about 30-40 degrees outside, foggy and misty...

Please help.

1: blown head gasket
2: small hole in the radiator
3: bad thermostat
4: cracked engine block...ok ok its not that serious

possibilities.

So today coming home from work the car was fine (knock on wood). I checked my garage and there was no puddle. I left the car running in the garage for an extra 20 mins and fluid was still above max, temp gauge was where it is suppose to be, and no white smoke... Should I still be concerned?

Check the fluid level in the morning before you start it and see where the level is. If it's low then you def have a leak if not, then your fx musta burped. :tongue (2):

Get the head gaskets checked! My dealer told me they are seeing an increase of blown headgaskets on higher mileage FX's and one of the tell tale signs is overheating.

I recently had a overheating problem and ended up being a leak on the radiator. Probably should get it checked out if it overheats.
