    anyone ever have a hole in a radiator hose?

    what were the symptoms ?

    white steam/smoke coming from my hood

    checked oil , its fine
    added a bit more water to radiator, it was on Low, filled it back up to Full...

    I drove it around for 5 min and steam started to come from hood again. I pulled over and opened hood, steam/smoke is coming from my radiator region...

    taking it to Toyota place tomorrow to get fixed

    I assume I have a hole in my radiator hose? i hope its not my water pump.


    I hate car woes

    Often times I wonder why
    There's love and hate, theres live or die.
    When sickness comes I must decide:
    When feelings go, theres suicide.

      If it is the hose it is a cheap fix - you could do it yourself

          The water pump would piss all over the ground..sounds like a hose..check the clamped areas,they get sliced over time

              leaking radiator, head gasket, anything coming out the tail pipe?

              if it was a bad hose coolant would be everywhere, and never pressurize

                      there are a half dozen things it could be . . . . a hose would be the least of your worries

                          earlier today I noticed a tad bit of smoke coming out of tail pipe while I had it idling, not thick, very thin, not dark.

                          if it was a bad hose coolant would be everywhere, and never pressurize
                          I have not noticed any fluids underneath car but will check in the morning before I drive to autoplace.

                                          its 50/50 water / anti-freeze/coolant

                                              Straight antifreeze/coolant isn't a good idea either.It has to be mixed with water

                                                          depending on what kind of car you have this might be an easy fix... upper and sometimes lower hoses can cause steam.
