My car has had a small leak somewhere in the radiator because I have slowly lost my water/coolant over a month and have had to refill. However, today, I was driving down the road, noticed the car getting hot(which it never did before) started to pull over, heard a pop sound and the car starting smoking. After I pulled over, I pulled the hood up, and saw the radiator reservoir cap on the engine and oil everywhere! What couldve happened?

Hi there,

you will have to wash it down re fill the oil and coolant and run the engine to see where the leaks are coming from, you may have blown the radiator cap with excessive steam pressure if the coolant was way to low, and as for the oil leak, you best wash and run to see where it is coming from.
