Default Radiator discharge

Aloha! Gee my Accord is just fallin' apart...lol. Aside from my oil leak, I noticed that when I turn off my car the radiator begins to discharge into the overflow container. It's bubbling and smoky. Any ideas?

look at the overflow container and check if the fluid is dirty. if so, then you should try getting a coolant flush. This should clean out most of the dirt and debris tha builds up in the radiator. At the same time you should think about changing your thermostat. Have you ever had your timing belt changed?

id flush it out and check it again.

check the color after the flush...if it is bubbling, it means the engine may be running ont he hotter side.
