I have used radiator stop leak before in my 1996 Olds Achieva SC with the V6. I put it directly into the coolant resovor. It went in fine for me. This did not give me much help though. I would not recommend using stop leak. It will clog your heater core and then you will have more than the radiator as your problem. Fine a new radiator and replace it that is the best advidce i can give you.
If the smoke is coming from the electric fan itself, then it needs replacing. It could be the smoke is steam that the fan is drawing from the radiator, and you have a coolant leak at the radiator.
Did you get the hose clamps tight? Did you puncture a hole in the bottom of the radiator? Did you get the petcock closed all the way? You didn't overtighten the petcock at the bottom of the rad did you? Is your water pump good? Did you put thermostat in the right way?????????????
Yes. A really good TIG welder can do this. Ask around at radiator shops. JB Weld never works on this kind of stuff.
Check your heater hoses, that's where the water ciruclates into the heater from the water pump.

Remove the radiator and replace it or have it repaired by a professional radiator repair shop. Go to Autozone buy STOP LEAK and pour it in the radiator or they have GLUE for leak problem.
Please, if you can possibly help it, don't use that crap in your engine-sooner or later the leak is going to get worse anyway so why not get to the problem now. That stuff will clog up your radiator, heater core, and any small water passages in your engine-trust me on this!
Are you sure it's water? Sounds like your heater coil may be leaking...
try a radiator cap......or you have a head gasket leak.
The radiator will leak, Its function is to hold water in a way as to cool it for the engine. So if it leaks, its busted.
had my 1996 leaking oil through the oil sensor / regulator / thingy... left center next to spark plugs. wash your engine then let your car idle and yo9u should see where the leak is coming from, if u see no leak form then you need to rev your engine to get the oil pressure up. my part is 25bucks hope yours is the same or less ..

If the radiator was not fitted in properly or the pipes were not attached correctly, the radiator would leak.
Symptoms are: Loss of coolant with no apparent leak, engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust especially at start up, overfull oil level, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, possible engine miss, & air bubbles escaping from the radiator with cap off.
Radiator or hoses. Possible water pump
Probably a vacuum leak. Do you have a code P0171 or P0174?
Milky means that there is water in the fluid. You need to have the radiator checked for an internal leak.
Unless your radiator has a leak, the radiator fluid stays in the radiator.
