Hi Jessica, sorry to hear about your leaking radiator. This can be caused by a cracked or worn out radiator hose, a damaged radiator itself, or a faulty radiator cap. My best advice would be to take it to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair. It's not something you want to try and fix yourself unless you have experience with car maintenance.

Hey Jessica, I had the same issue with my Ford Focus a few months ago. My mechanic told me that it was caused by corrosion in the radiator. He replaced the corroded parts and it's been working perfectly since then. Make sure to also check the coolant levels, as low levels can also cause leaks.

Hi Jessica, my brother is a mechanic and he told me that radiator leaks can also be caused by a faulty thermostat. This is an easy fix and you can do it yourself with some basic tools. Just make sure to research the proper steps and follow them carefully to avoid any further damage. Good luck!
