I have a 1992 Ford Tempo GL. Within the past two days, it has been driving fine, then it will start to sputter and if I slow down it will stall. It starts back up o.K, it seems to happen when the engine starts to heat up. I also noticed that when this happens, radiator fluid starts to leak out and there is smoke coming from where it is leaking out at. I've raised the car and have tried to determine where the radiator fluid is leaking from, and I can't tell yet. This only happens when the engine has been running for about 5 or so minutes - I would appreciate any help at all!

Thanks!

It sounds like you have a bad heater bypass house. Look around the water pump for a small curved hose. It may be the problem. If not look for a pin hole in one of the other rad hoses. Good luck
