how do i take out the old one?
is it just the bolts on top and the big hose?
automatic 2.2

 

bolts on top, fan connections, a/t cooler lines, 2 big coolant lines.

 

welll the radiator is in and its working, but now i have a new problem, the car is dripping oil not alot but the e?ngine also smokes...what could be the problem now?

 

Dripping ATF from the tranny cooler hoses leading to the new radiator? Were the connections OK? Fittings buggered up on the hoses? Smoke probably from oil dripping on exhaust pipe?

 

connections were fine i just cant find where the oil is leaking from, and everytime i drive it all i smell is burnt oil

 

i just changed my radiator as well about a week ago in my 96 accord... you may have some smoking because of ATF that had dripped out, i had some in mine. once it burns away after letting the car sit and run for a little bit it should go away... if not i would deffinately look at both of the small hard lines that connect to the bottom of the radiator, the leak may be from: bad connection from the hoses to the hard lines or because of moving, tugging and pulling of the radiator you may have rust (I.E. on the relay hard line that runs from the passenger side to the driver side, that was a bad line for me that needed replaced) that could have broken and is causing the leak.

Im not going to lie though, if you know that the smell is burning oil then i don't know what that could be caused from. (I'm just a backyard mechanic, i don't know how to fix a problem until one comes up and i havnt had something like that happen yet *knock on wood)

 

yea i put a cardbourd box under the car and drops of oil came out
