hi, blown head gasket, cracked head or block or automatic transmission oil cooler in radiator leaking
Cracked radiator end caps since the tranny fluid runs goes threw the caps for cooling that is the only way tranny fluid can get in the radiator
no, they are not related. tiny bubbles that make the radiator "foam up" is the result of exhaust gas leaking into the radiator. causes are blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head or cracked block. hth
A bad head gasket or a cracked head can do that.
If the radiator is cracked then the vehicle has ran dry on coolant. This would cause the radiator to crack if there wasn't any coolant.
A hole in the radiator would do that, or a damaged radiator cap. It could be a cracked engine block that is allowing cylinder pressure into the cooling system, pressurizing the water until it breaks through a weak spot in the radiator.
Several possibilities in order of expense: thermostat, coolant leak, water pump, plugged radiator, bad head gasket, cracked head, cracked block.
The radiator hoses could be cracked, look where they are clamped to the rad. and engine. The radiator itself could be rusted or cracked somewhere.
A cracked head could also at fault.
A leaking head gasket is is most likely cause, could also be cracked head or cracked block. A leak in the trans cooler which is located in the radiator would allow trans fluid into cooling system.
