As I was pulling in the garage I saw this smoke coming from the bay so I said ok, there is gotta be something leaking. I went to check and it happened to be a small crack in the radiator. I check every coolant hose in the base and they all look fine. Can this be fixed by using stop leak like epoxy or should I replace the entire radiator if it is actually leaking through that small crack. What do you guys think? I am at 41k

I had the same issue. That's the AC heat exchanger. It'll have to be replaced. Mine was done under insurance, so it was $1400 minus the deductable to have the dealer do it. That way I didn't have to mess with the coolant.

A very fine, smoke-like vapor jetting out? And a bright green, chartreuse color dye?
Easy way to prove me wrong . Fire it up and turn the AC on . I thought mine was the radiator, too. It wasn't covered under warranty for me. I had to make a claim against my insurance. Kirk B. |

Insurance is farm bureau. I was getting off of the hi-way behind an 18 wheeler, and he kicked rocks back into the travel lane. I didn't know until I got home.

Yeah, instead of coolant, I should have said refrigerant. I don't have the equipment to evacuate the system, draw a vacuum on it, then properly refill it.
